Get closer to your food, get closer to nature, and come join us on the ranch for a one-of-a-kind field harvest experience.

We haven’t offered this before, and we are offering only one of these experiences this winter.

Here are the details:

• You and a group of your friends and/or family meet Sarah and Matt at their house on the ranch at 8:30 AM.

• The day will start with homemade pastries, coffee, and conversation by the wood stove about bison, NBB, regenerative agriculture, etc.

• We will then drive out to the bison herd, where you are free to take as many photos as you’d like — and we’ll continue the conversation about bison while being among the herd.

• Matt will then field-harvest a bison, and we will take the bison to a different pasture on the ranch to begin field-dressing it.

• Matt will slowly walk the group through the field-dressing process, and (depending on each person’s preference) this can be a hands-on or hands-off experience.

• Once the bison has been field-dressed, we will head back to the ranch house to wash hands, clean up, and say our goodbyes.

• Matt will then take the bison to the Amsterdam Meat Shop west of Bozeman, where it will be skinned, washed, and dry-aged. Folks are welcome to join Matt at Amsterdam or call it a day at the ranch house.

What else is included?

• One whole bison. The field-harvested bison will be for the group. One person from the group will talk to Amsterdam Meat Shop post-field-harvest to talk through how you’d like the bison butchered and packaged.

• The head and hide from the bison. These will be fresh (not taxidermied), and we can recommend a local taxidermist.

• All of the marrow bones and organ meats from your bison.

• Some NBB merchandise for everyone.

Additional Details:

• The group size is limited to 8 people. You plus seven friends / work colleagues / family members / etc.

• We will plan to do this on a Friday this upcoming fall (2024) or winter (2024-25). We will work out a day that works best for everyone.

• An additional $5,000 payment will be due the day of the field-harvest (so the total cost for the experience, bison, etc. is $10,000 for the whole group).

• If the group is from Montana, we can coordinate pickup or delivery of your bison once it’s been dry-aged, cut, wrapped, frozen, and boxed.

• If the group is from out of state, we can ship the meat to you, and we just ask to be reimbursed for the shipping fee.

• You’re responsible for the butcher fee to Amsterdam Meat Shop, which is usually around $800 or $900.

• One whole bison will yield around 350 - 400 lbs. of delicious, healthy, regenerative bison meat (not including the marrow bones and organ meats).

• The ranch is located in the Shields Valley 30 miles northeast of Bozeman, Montana. We are happy to help with lodging, restaurant recommendations, ideas for other activities, etc.
