Discover the Rustic Charm of Sugar Hill Ranch
Step into the serene expanse of Sugar Hill Ranch, where the Christiansen family legacy has been deeply rooted to the South Edge of a majestic Canadian National Park since 1914. Here, we celebrate nearly 120 years of harmonious farming, a testament to the enduring spirit of the land.
Nourishment from Nature’s Bounty
At Sugar Hill Ranch, our commitment extends beyond the horizons of traditional farming. Named after the local school district and the iconic Sugar Hill that rises within our land, we provide a vital source of healthy, natural protein to our community. Our approach to ranching respects the environment, as we cultivate less-than-ideal farmland to flourish alongside nature's rhythm.
A Landscape of Diversity and Beauty
Our ranch is a mosaic of large lakes and lush grazing acres, bordered by the breathtaking northern Canadian boreal forests. This diverse terrain not only paints a picture of idyllic beauty but also creates the perfect backdrop for our Pure Plains Bison herd to thrive.
Ethical Stewardship and Animal Welfare
Guided by the Bison Code of Practice, every aspect of our animal care echoes the philosophy of natural husbandry. We pride ourselves on treating our bison with respect, allowing them to roam and interact with the land as they have done for centuries. This fosters a holistic environment where animal welfare and land preservation are paramount.
Join us at Sugar Hill Ranch, where every plain and forest tells a story of sustainable living and ethical care—a pure, unbridled connection between the past, the present, and the future of farming.

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.
