Richard Allan brought his dreams to Ontario when he, his wife Cheryl and their two children made Drummond Centre just outside of Perth their new home.<br />Since 2006, they have raised bison for meat while working to make their land once again, farmable. &ldquo;These beautiful animals are a joy to watch and we encourage everyone to bring their camera and stay for a visit,&rdquo; says Richard. Animals raised at Battle River Bison are free of steroids and growth hormones.<br />The meat is sold at the <strong>Carp Farmers Market</strong>, <strong>Foodsmiths </strong>(Perth), <strong>Garden Market</strong> (Smiths Falls) and the <strong>Natural Food Pantry </strong>(Kanata). If you are dining check out the<strong> Dalhousie Lake Restaurant</strong> in McDonalds Corners for our burgers. <strong>Farm-gate sales are also available.</strong><br />Among the many health benefits of bison are, low levels of cholesterol and fat and high levels of omega 3 fatty acids, as well as iron.<br /> Members of: Canadian Organic Association, Ontario Bison Association, Canadian Bison Association</p> <div class="field field-type-text field-field-products"> <div class="field-items"> <div class="field-item odd"> <div class="field-label-inline-first"> Products:&nbsp;</div> <p>bison meat</p> </div> </div> </div> meat bison Thu, 21 May 2009 15:29:57 +0000 Battle River Bison 67 at https://lanarklocalflavour.ca
