It’s a Great Time to Eat Grass Fed Bison
Empire Buffalo is a small scale bison farm. We sell bison meat by the retail cut. Bison is great tasting and good for you, and ours is all grass fed, which creates a more sustainable footprint.
Right now, the best way to purchase is to send us an email, or call for an appointment to come to the farm. We’ll take your order, let you know what it costs and bring it to your car, with our mask and gloves on for a no contact purchase.
Empire Buffalo will be at the Cazenovia Farmers Market on an intermittent basis this summer. Please follow us on facebook to learn when we will be at the market.
Our Story
Joe Lazarsky and Aileen Randolph purchased 100 acres on Falls Road late in 2009. It was an old dairy farm that hadn’t been farmed in a decade. In 2011 we brought in a small herd of bison from Tennessee. Our herd has grown to over 60 and we’ve learned alot about bison, fencing and the challenges of small scale farming. We wouldn’t be here today without the support of our community and passionate bison eaters from across the region. We truly appreciate it.
