Hoppin’ John is a traditional Southern dish that has become well known for its popularity on New Years Day. It can be found in cookbooks dating back to the 1800s and is said by some to bring good luck for the new year ahead. It’s unclear where the name originated, but what we do know for sure is that this Southern recipe is absolutely delicious. Black eyed peas, wild rice, sausage and bacon combine with cajun seasoning for authentic Southern flavor. Traditionally made with pork bacon and sausage, used wild boar bacon and hickory smoked bison sausage.

Wild Boar Bacon Is The (Not So) Secret Ingredient

If you’ve never tried our wild boar bacon before, get ready to be obsessed. Bacon is already known for being one of the most delicious foods in existence. Our wild boars roam the forests of the Southwest, foraging their natural preferred diet of roots, nuts, berries and tubers. This gives our wild boar meat a nutty, complex flavor profile that has so much depth and dimension compared to conventional pork bacon. It’s also slightly less greasy than conventional bacon and contains more vitamins and minerals.

Free Range Bison, Raised On Our Beautiful Ranch

Our bison live free range on 20,000 beautiful acres here in New Mexico, or roam freely on our carefully selected partner ranches. They are pasture raised and never administered any amount of hormones, steroids or antibiotics. These are powerful, strong animals that live essentially wild with minimal handling. There were once 60 million bison roaming North America, and we hope to see their numbers increase back to even 1 million during our lifetime. By increasing the demand for ethically sourced bison meat, we can help to bolster their population. The more people that want to purchase this nourishing and nutrient dense meat, the more farmers will be encouraged to raise bison. This directly helps to increase the number of herds which assists in providing genetic diversity for the population.

They’re free range, grass fed pasture raised bison meat, and are processed with care by master butchers just like the rest of our products.

Meatloaf is one of my all time favorite foods. It’s really easy to make and you’d be hard pressed to find a meal that’s more satisfying or comforting. Meatloaf is quick to prepare, but can take up to an hour to cook in the oven. Luckily, there is a way to prepare this meal during the day and have it ready right when you get home from work. If you have a slow cooker or Instant Pot, you can cook your meatloaf while you’re away from home and simply finish it with a few minutes under the broiler right before serving. This recipe uses bison and wild boar, which is my favorite combination for meatloaf. The fattier wild boar meat balances well with the lean bison and the flavors of both are excellent.

Instructions:

1. Use heavy duty aluminum foil to line the crock pot, making sure it also covers two of the sides (this will allow you to remove the whole thing later and finish under the broiler). Lightly grease the foil.
2. Before cooking, let the ground meat sit out at room temperature for approximately 15 minutes.
3. Meanwhile, heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat with a little bison tallow or avocado oil. Add in the diced onion and cook slowly, stirring often, until it becomes golden brown, tender and fragrant. Set aside to cool.
4. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground bison, ground wild boar, bread crumbs, cooked onion, milk, eggs, sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Using your hands, mix together just until combined. Take care not to overmix as it can cause the meat to become tough.
5. In a small bowl, whisk together the ketchup, barbecue sauce, coconut sugar, mustard, apple cider vinegar. Season with freshly ground black pepper to taste. Set aside.
6. Shape the meat mixture into a loaf and add it into the prepared crock pot. Pour ½ of the ketchup mixture over top. Put the lid on the crock pot and cook on low for approximately 6 hours. If using an Instant Pot, turn on the Slow Cook function and plan for a slightly longer cooking time (check after 6.5 hours).
7. When the meatloaf has finished cooking, remove it from the pot using the foil liner. Put it on a baking sheet, then pour more of the sauce over top. Reserve some of the sauce for serving.
8. Broil for 3-4 minutes, or until it’s hot with a sticky, shiny appearance.
9. Serve and enjoy with more sauce over the top as desired.

This wild boar stuffing is what wintertime dreams are made of. The sweet tart combination of crisp green apples and dried cranberries make this seasonal delight a total crowd pleaser. Our ground wild boar has an amazing, complex flavor profile that I love using in a huge variety of recipes. This stuffing is super easy to make and is the perfect accompaniment to any dinner, but fancy enough for Christmas dinner or any other special wintertime occasion. It would also go great with any of our other ground meats, although personally I particularly love it with wild boar.

A Delicious & Sustainable Meat Choice

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.

In my opinion, homemade spaghetti basically requires making meatballs. Okay, yes, it’s still delicious even if you just put ground meat in the sauce. But there’s just something about meatballs that makes spaghetti so incredibly good. Whenever I make something that involves ground meat, I love experimenting with different combinations of our ground selections. Bison and wild boar is one of my all-time favorite duos, and once you try it out you’ll know why. Treat yourself and your family and make this for dinner - it’ll be one of your new favorite recipes.

If you’re into the idea of pairing bacon with some sweetness but wanting to stay away from gluten, this paleo recipe is the perfect way to satisfy your craving. Serve this for the holidays or make it as a delicious side dish. I actually love having this as an easy breakfast bake. I added a tiny bit of cayenne pepper for a kick, but feel free to leave it out or substitute with red pepper flakes. A little cardamom or curry powder could be great, too. Use classic sweet potatoes or my personal favorite - Japanese purple sweet potatoes.

Wild Boar Bacon Could Be The (Not So) Secret Ingredient

If you’ve never tried our wild boar bacon before, get ready to be obsessed. Bacon is already known for being one of the most delicious foods in existence. Our wild boars roam the forests of the Southwest, foraging their natural preferred diet of roots, nuts, berries and tubers. This gives our wild boar meat a nutty, complex flavor profile that has so much depth and dimension compared to conventional pork bacon. It’s also slightly less greasy than conventional bacon and contains more vitamins and minerals.

People are always asking us about the best ways to eat wild boar. If you’re used to eating pork, the nutty and delicious flavor of wild boar meat will blow your mind. It’s so much more flavorful and satisfying than conventional pork. Customers tell us all the time that they find themselves unable to go back to eating conventional pork after trying out this meat.

In addition to the unbeatable flavor, wild boar meat offers a multitude of health benefits that blow pork out of the water. It’s lower in total fat and calories while offering more omega 3 fatty acids, vitamins and minerals. We are big believers in the advantages of eating wild meat and the nutritional profile of wild boar is a perfect example of this. Our wild boar meat is unparalleled in flavor because we work with small-scale, species specific master butchers who know how to properly process this meat.

Duck Bacon: Your New Favorite Indulgence

Duck bacon is actually meat cut from the breast of the duck where there is a large amount of fat. Nonetheless, it’s incredibly similar in texture and flavor to more familiar varieties of bacon. Our ducks are raised in quiet, spacious barns on a small group of farms in rural Indiana. They are often raised by Mennonite or Amish farmers, and are lovingly cared for on family farms. They are White Pekin ducks, bred for their tender, mild flavored meat that is preferred by most people with an Americanized palette. This duck meat easily adapts to a wide range of flavor profiles and cuisines.

Odds are, if you grew up celebrating Thanksgiving you’ve probably had the classic green bean casserole with crunchy French onions in it. That one is great, but I thought it would be nice to have an updated take on green bean casserole this year. This version has Bragg’s Liquid Aminos (you could also use coconut aminos or soy sauce), a little coconut sugar, butter, garlic and - most importantly - bacon. Whether you use our wild boar bacon, duck bacon, or both, you’ll find that it takes green bean casserole to a level you never realized was possible.

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.

Everyone’s favorite eating holiday is coming up, and I’m starting to plan what will be on the menu for this year. Although a roasted turkey is the traditional centerpiece, there’s lots of other main course worthy meat items that you can choose to serve instead of or alongside a turkey. Thanksgiving has always been one of my favorite holidays - I really enjoy celebrating the abundance of the land and sharing food with loved ones. Whether you’re cooking for two or cooking for a crowd, have a lot of time or a little - we’ve got you covered with these top 5 meats for Thanksgiving.

1. Turkey (The Obvious Choice)
2. A Whole Bison Tenderloin Roast
3. Roasted & Spiced Leg Of Lamb
4. Grass Fed Beef Or Bison Brisket
5. Herb Crusted Wild Boar Tenderloin

1. Turkey (The Obvious Choice)

It’s not called Turkey Day for no reason, folks. Turkey is obviously the classic and it’s always a solid choice. You might even feel like Thanksgiving is incomplete without a turkey on the table. There’s definitely a special quality to carving a perfectly roasted bird to serve to a gathering of family and friends. If turkey on Thanksgiving holds sentimental value for you, it might be the only way to go. Not to mention, it usually makes for some pretty epic leftovers. My personal favorite is a leftovers sandwich consisting of turkey, stuffing and cranberry sauce. Absolutely delicious. We have an extremely limited quantity of turkeys available for Thanksgiving, so place your order now if you’d like to have one.

2. A Whole Bison Tenderloin Roast

Okay, if you think the turkey is impressive, wait until you serve up an entire bison tenderloin subprimal for Thanksgiving. You can serve this without worrying about missing out on the wow factor of a turkey, or simply serve it alongside and have both. The bison tenderloin has incredible flavor and texture. We recommend searing it before roasting, and tying it up with butcher twine so that the meat is an equal thickness all the way through for cooking. This prime cut is highly sought after for the famous filet mignon steak. The subprimal is the entire roast intact, prior to being divided into separate steaks. If you see these in stock, be sure to grab one while you can because we typically only get a few at a time.

3. Roasted & Spiced Leg Of Lamb

Leg of lamb definitely has a festive holiday vibe, and it’s a completely legitimate choice for Thanksgiving dinner. It’s simple, yet distinctly decadent with incredible flavor. Our lamb is moist, tender and truly delicious. It’s a match made in heaven with a large variety of holiday spices and herbs including orange, cardamom, mint and thyme. A good lamb roast is able to carry complex seasoning without losing its own flavor profile along the way. Give the lamb a generous spice rub and roast in the oven for amazing results.

4. Grass Fed Beef Or Bison Brisket

If you think that the season for brisket fades away when you it’s time to store your smoker for the winter, think again. We love to slow braise briskets in the oven or cook them in Crock Pot or Instant Pot. This meltingly tender classic reaches perfection when it’s cooked low and slow. And although Thanksgiving leftovers are pretty much great no matter what, brisket sandwiches are really something special. No matter what your favorite sides are to serve alongside, brisket will go perfectly with just about anything. Choose from our pasture raised bison or beef, neither will disappoint.

5. Herb Crusted Wild Boar Tenderloin

If you haven’t ventured outside of wild boar bacon yet, this should definitely be next on your list. These prime cuts are so tender and with that nutty, delicious flavor profile that makes everyone love wild boar. Sage, garlic and thyme will make for a drool-worthy crust on the outside. Wild boar tenderloin is an especially great choice if you’re looking for something that will cook more quickly than turkey. These don’t take a lot of time to prepare and certainly don’t sacrifice anything in the flavor department. Or you can try one of my favorite preparations for wild boar tenderloin, with spiced orange and cranberry sauce.

This is the perfect breakfast for a snow day or lazy Sunday morning when you feel like enjoying some time baking with loved ones. Baking is such a wonderful bonding activity. Some of my favorite childhood memories are of making holiday breakfasts or desserts with my mother in the kitchen. If you haven’t tried a maple wild boar bacon dessert yet, this one incorporates the sweet and savory flavors perfectly. Making cinnamon rolls from scratch definitely takes some time compared to making pancakes or French toast for breakfast, but trust me - they’re well worth the extra effort.

Instructions:

1. First, make the cinnamon rolls. In a small saucepan, whisk together the milk, avocado oil and coconut sugar. Heat until it is near boiling but not actually boiling. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool completely.
2. After allowing the mixture approximately 45 minutes to cool completely, put it in the bowl of a stand mixer. Add the yeast and let it sit for a few minutes to activate. You’ll know it’s activated when it starts to bubble.
3. Add 2 cups of flour to the stand mixer. Combine. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise for about an hour (it should double in volume).
4. Once the dough has finished rising, add the remaining ¼ cup of flour along with the baking powder, baking soda and sea salt. Mix to combine.
5. Prepare a lightly floured surface to roll out the dough. Form a rectangle.
6. Drizzle melted butter over the rectangle of dough. Add cinnamon and coconut sugar as desired.
7. Tightly roll the rectangle like a rug. Pinch the end of the roll to seal in place.
8. Grease the bottom of a baking dish with more melted butter.
9. Slice the log of cinnamon rolls into pieces about one inch in thickness. Add them into the baking pan.
10. Set the pan aside to allow the cinnamon rolls to rise, approximately 20-30 minutes.
11. Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown.
12. While the cinnamon rolls are baking, make the glaze. Whisk together the wet ingredients. Gradually add in powdered sugar until you reach the desired sweetness and consistency. Fold in the chopped bacon as desired.
13. When the cinnamon rolls are finished baking, drizzle the glaze over top. Garnish with more chopped bacon as desired.
