Cherokee Valley Bison Ranch LLC

In 2008 Carie and Jarrod Starr purchased a small herd of bison with the dream of producing grass-fed bison for ourselves and our community.  As we have watched neighboring farmers cut down portions of forests and remove old brushy fence rows to make room for more rows and larger equipment, we have gone the opposite direction. We leave large buffer zones of trees, wildflowers and brush. It's not completely selfless...with these areas comes plenty of small critters to fill the bellies of hawks, foxes and coyotes so they leave our livestock be. Call it a peace offering if you will. There is nothing better, after a long summer day, than sitting on the deck enjoying a cold drink while we listen to the chorus of bugs and watch the fireflies dance across the pasture with the bison, as bats buzz by gobbling up gnats. To us, the vision of a hawk circling overhead as we go about our day is so stirring we can't help but pause and enjoy the sight. Even after all these years we are still excited by nature's little gifts. THANK YOU for supporting our little slice of paradise ! Cherokee Valley Bison are 100% grass fed, rotationally grazed, and produced without growth hormones or antibiotics. No weird stuff!
