A New Source of Healthy Protein

Roger Gerber of Blackwing Meats always had a passion for healthy and delicious protein options. He started the business in 1996, initially raising ostriches, a surprisingly nutritious red meat, before expanding to offer bison a few years later. Recognizing the growing demand for health-conscious alternatives, Blackwing now partners with around 40 independent farms throughout the United States, including several in the Amish community.

Blackwing has grown to become a leading provider of North American Bison, a rich, flavorful, and one of the healthiest protein sources available. In addition to bison, Blackwing offers a variety of lean, antibiotic-free game meats, including venison, elk, wild boar, and more. Raised on lush pastures or responsibly trapped, these 100% grass-fed and naturally sourced meats provide a clean, rich flavor, all without antibiotics or hormones—perfect for those looking for nutritious and flavorful alternatives to traditional meats.

Heart-Healthy, Full of Flavor

While it’s easy to compare bison to beef, there are a few differences. Bison is lighter, a bit sweeter, and has a slightly coarser texture. It also provides numerous health benefits, being naturally lean with less fat, calories, and cholesterol.

Additionally, bison is rich in protein and an excellent source of zinc and iron. Because of its lower fat content, it cooks up more quickly—up to a third less time than beef. Cooking to medium-rare is best; simply season with salt and pepper to bring out the juicy, mouth-watering flavors.
