You don't like bison puns? Bye son ✌🏽 @glenwoodfarmsfb

Ever wonder how one starts a bison farm? In 1920's Dr. Richard Cornell Warren purchased an 80-acre farm. In the 1930's, the family fixed up the old farm house, raising cows and chickens and harvesting fruit trees, grains, vegetables. They soon opened farm stand and later a restaurant on Route 89 called the Glenwood Pines Restaurant where they sold excess farm product. Circa 1960, the farm was not producing more than it cost.

The farm remained nearly frozen until 2001 when, three generations later, the family joined the @nationalbison and began building fences, corral and a barn. The new structures welcomed the farms first Bison in 2007 and buffalo in 2008.

In 2008, the Bison were accidentally let out of their pasture and the family spent 65 days and hundreds of hours in search. They were able to bring back 4 of 17. The family vowed to triple the herd and today they are a thriving farm with 70+ animals.

As for the nutritional value of bison, it's the obvious choice when looking for lower calorie and fat. It's also rich in omega-6 and omega-3, with a typical omega-6 to omega-3 ratio of 4:1 or lower when non-feed lotted. The Bison at Glenwood Farms are not subjected to pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers on their pastures. None ever receive growth hormones, antibiotics, steroids, or soy based feed products. Such conditions lead to superior health for each animal which in turn, means greater health aspects for the end consumer. The meat is processed in an article-5A facility in Harpursville NY.
