Jeff Goodyear founded Maple Ridge Bison Ranch, Inc. in 2001, starting with just 10 Bison. They are a family owned and operated business, the first four generations of their family operated a dairy farm on the same lands that bison now roam. The following year they purchased 60 animals from the Black Hills of South Dakota. They now maintain a herd size of around 80 animals.
Most of their 300 acres is fenced with 6 strands of high tensile electric fence where the bison roam freely.
They support the growth of natural and sustainable agricultural practices and treat all of their bison with disnity. They are fifth generation tenants of the land and feel strongly that our environment can be renewed through wise use, and their land management philosophy allows the bison to roam freely (with minimal human interference) as they did centuries ago. This natural envrioment allows them to produce some of America's finest red meat available.
