Southwestern Wild Boar Chili That Everyone Will Love
There’s something so wildly satisfying about really great chili. If you’ve never tried our ground wild boar meat, now is the time because it really shines in this complexly flavored chili recipe. If this meal doesn’t make you feel like curling up with a cozy blanket, I don’t know what will. The bison bone broth and tallow make this chili rich and meaty, and the unsweetened baking chocolate is a secret ingredient that fills out the base of the flavor profile. The spices hit all the right notes - this recipe is easily my new favorite. I highly suggest making a big batch because everyone will be coming back for seconds!

Wild Boar Is One Of The Most Sustainable Meats Available
Our Southwestern wild boar roam the forests, foraging their natural diet. They love to eat berries, nuts, roots and tubers which give their meat its unique and delectable flavor profile. They’re trapped under the supervision of specialized veterinarians and butchered by a small scale, species specific facility. Just like all of our products, we care about where this meat comes from. Wild boar are actually an invasive species to North America, and their population continues to grow. They ruin crops and disrupt the growth of endangered plants in forests by digging in the soil. When we eat humanely trapped wild boar meat it helps to protect our food supply and forest ecosystems.
