OUR STORY

Thank you for your interest in Apache Spirit Bison Company, and welcome! We're more than just a store - we're a passion project born out of a deep appreciation for the majestic bison. What began as a small group of bison, carefully selected from a ranch in Colorado for the sole purpose of observation and admiration, has evolved into something truly extraordinary.

As we spent time with these incredible creatures, we discovered not only their captivating nature but also the remarkable health benefits associated with them. Intrigued and inspired, we embarked on a mission to share these benefits with others. We expanded our herd, allowing them to roam and reproduce at their leisure, ensuring their well-being and preserving their natural instincts.

Today, our herd has flourished, consisting of 250 magnificent bison that roam freely across 5,500 acres of breathtaking hills in Mountain Home, Texas. The sprawling landscape provides them with an optimal environment, allowing them to graze on lush grasses, drink from pristine water sources, and thrive in their natural habitat.
