The Honest Bison

Founded by Sean Lenihan, The Honest Bison emerged from a personal quest for trustworthy, unprocessed meats. Sean, a former experiential marketer, turned to grass-fed bison ranching after realizing the lack of transparency in the meat industry. His journey began when he sought healthy protein sources for his family, leading him to collaborate with ranchers to bring quality meat directly to consumers.

The Honest Bison emphasizes humane treatment and natural grazing for their animals. They partner with ranchers who share their values, ensuring animals live in open pastures and follow their natural diets, which may include grass, shrubs, berries, leaves, and wild grains. Their regenerative ranching practices help maintain balanced ecosystems, replenish soil nutrients, sequester carbon, and support plant biodiversity. Animals are treated with respect and never subjected to feedlots.

The Honest Bison collaborates with ranches like 777 Bison Ranch in South Dakota and Lubinski Elk Acres in Minnesota. They uphold high standards through third-party certifications and offer a variety of products, including Bison Filet Mignon and Bison Burgers, which are highly rated by customers. Their mission is to bring trust and transparency back to the table with ethically sourced meats from independent, family-owned ranches in the U.S.A.
