Green Fields Bison Ranch is a family-owned and operated ranch in western Oregon (30 minutes west of Salem). We are a local source of wildly nutritious grass-fed bison meat: no GMO feeds, no hormones and no antibiotics. We produce plain and simple healthy bison meat – sustainably and naturally raised – from our ranch to your table. Our bison live out their lives on our pastures:
Our calves are born on our ranch and live out their lives in a peaceful valley.
Our bison live in family groups, grazing on our pastures; we supplement with hay and alfalfa when the grass is not sufficient. In 2016, we added a creep feeder. We built a special doorframe that only allows calves to enter to eat so they do not need to compete for nutrition with animals more than twice their size. As a result, our 2016 calves are healthy and full of energy!
We work to grow the best possible grass for them to eat by enriching the soil with nutrients, seeding where needed, and controlling weeds through hand pulling and mowing.
We practice low-stress handling, allowing the bison to move into new pastures at their own pace as we open gates. We often talk to the bison when we are out in the fields with them and call them by name (tag #).
Check our website for current products, prices and specials. We sell packaged cuts of meat from freezers on our ranch. We also sell bison in quarters, halves and wholes. We sell at the Salem Saturday Market and the Corvallis Saturday Farmer’s Market (see 2017 schedule on our website). We also sell our wildly nutritious bison meat at LifeSource Natural Foods and the Kraftworks Taphouse in Salem, and two co-ops on the Oregon Coast. If you are planning to start a bison herd, give us a call. We currently have breeding bulls from Custer State Park in South Dakota and breeding heifers from Antelope Island State Park in Utah for sale.
