From farm to table, our buffalo herd is one of the largest herds East of the Mississippi.
Oleson’s Food Stores owns one of the largest buffalo herds east of the Mississippi, running 250–350 head of buffalo at any given time. Buffalo can often be seen grazing at Oleson’s Buffalo Farm just south of Traverse City along U.S. 31. Because we raise our own buffalo, we can guide their diets and predict the health benefits of the meat.
Oleson’s Buffalo (Bison) meat is all natural, with no added hormones or antibiotics. It is high in protein and iron, and low in fat and cholesterol. Many people allergic to beef are able to eat and enjoy buffalo meat. We have plenty of buffalo in our stores, so be sure to pick some up on your next visit.
