Discover the Legacy of Harvard Farms LTD: A Century of Harmony with Nature

Welcome to Harvard Farms, a beacon of heritage and natural harmony nestled near Lloydminster, Alberta. For over a century, this land has been a cradle to diverse forms of ranching - from beef cows and elk to our current passion, bison. It is here that we've discovered our most rewarding venture yet: nurturing the majestic bison in an environment that feels as timeless as it is expansive.

A Rich History with a Future Vision

Our journey began over a hundred years ago, with each generation building on the legacy of sustainable and respectful animal husbandry. The transition to bison ranching has opened a new chapter, one where the thunderous spirit of these noble creatures enriches our land and our lives. Our ranch boasts a varied landscape, each element playing a crucial role in creating an idyllic habitat for grazing.

Raising Bison: A Rewarding Experience

Raising bison has become our ranch's heart and soul, offering a profound sense of connection to the land and its history. Bison, with their resilient and gentle nature, have shown us the way to a more fulfilling and ethical approach to ranching. Our commitment is to maintain this harmony, ensuring that our practices honor the spirit of these incredible animals and the rich heritage of our ranch.

Certified Bison®

All High Plains Bison steaks are 100% Certified Bison—a quality seal that ensures production with strict ranching, animal welfare, food safety, and processing standards.

Never Ever Promise

High Plains Bison are raised the natural way – no growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or animal by-products, ever. We proudly adhere to strict, nationally recognized standards for animal welfare, ensuring a healthy life for our bison.

Chilled Exclusively By Air™

Our High Plains Bison products are lovingly crafted in small batches using our unique Chilled Exclusively by Air™ method. This special air-chilling process, instead of the usual liquid methods, locks in the delicious, natural flavors and tenderness, while also enhancing food safety.

Cook to Tenderness

Bison steaks are lean and will lose tenderness when cooked past medium. Even those who order beef well-done will prefer a medium-rare bison steak.

Check the Temperature

Trust your meat thermometer, not your eyes! Use a thermometer to cook your bison steak to the desired doneness.

Love it! Let it Rest

Allow the flavorful Juices to spread before you cut your steak. Let it rest for double the time of beef.
