Northstar Bison
Grass Fed Quality
Cameron, WI — Lee and Mary Graese grew up on family farms but, after marriage, weren’t itching to jump back into full-time farming. They did, however, love the idea of raising their kids surrounded by wide-open country and ranch life. With backgrounds in nutrition, wellness, and fitness — plus a shared passion for real, healthy food — a ranch just made sense.
In 1994 they bought two bison as a weekend hobby…and Northstar Bison was born. What started as a small, joyful experiment quickly caught on. The Graeses moved to a bigger farm, teamed up with fellow farmers who shared their values, and turned their hobby into a thriving family business. Over the years, Northstar has become a genuine family affair, full of hard work, laughter, and a whole lot of bison love.
Why bison? It’s lean, lower in calories and fat than many other meats, and packed with protein plus B vitamins, iron, selenium, and zinc — all the good stuff for healthy, flavorful meals.
Why Northstar?
Northstar Bison are pasture-raised, with the herd rotated every few days. They do not use growth hormones or antibiotics. Grazing land is not treated with herbicides or chemical fertilizers - they rely on the animals to redistribute seed and fertilize. Even the harvest is peaceful.
Northstar Products can be found in the freezer section at Basics (or ordered online for pickup/delivery).
