Welcome to our working bison ranch, where a unique experience awaits you. Explore our ranch through walking the paths that meander along the creek and around each bison pasture. As you stroll, discover the serenity of a large pond teeming with fish, dragonflies, butterflies, and amphibians. Visit our onsite store, where you can purchase our high-quality bison meat and unique bison artifacts. Additionally, from May to October, we offer tractor-drawn wagon tours into the pastures, providing an up-close encounter with these majestic animals. Nestled within a few miles of charming small towns boasting independent restaurants and stores, our location offers a perfect blend of rural tranquility and local amenities. For those seeking more extensive shopping options, we are conveniently situated within 15 miles of larger Toledo suburbs, featuring a variety of big-box stores. Our bison enjoy over 55 acres of pasture, benefitting from our commitment to rotational grazing for both pasture and bison health. At our ranch, we prioritize working harmoniously with the land, fostering the return of native flora and fauna to our property. Situated a few miles north of Swanton, our land, once used for standard crops, has undergone a transformation. After five years, we proudly boast an array of accomplishments, including the identification of over 25 different bird species in a single morning, an increase in local native pollinator populations (including the monarch butterfly), and a reduction in soil erosion. Join us on this journey as we invite you to experience the beauty of nature, the magnificence of bison, and the positive impact of sustainable practices on our land.

Lots of bison roaming the fields
This is a great getaway. Super quiet spot under the stars. Lots of walk paths to explore the property. Chickens greet you on your drive in. Horses and bison roaming in the fields. Stacy is a super nice host.

We just wanted a place to hang out in nature for a couple nights. The hosts were so nice and accommodating. Our little spot by the pond was perfect. We won’t talked about the storm that blew though at night. 🤣

The Bison are worth the visit!
This was a unique experience. Ever gone for a wagon ride into a herd of bison before? Here's your chance! If you book a reservation for a camping spot you do have to contact Stacy to schedule a time for this experience with the bison. $10/person. Worth it. The site offered plenty of room. I was greeted at the fence line by a beautiful horse when I arrived. RV sites are first-come, first-served, so if no one else is there when you arrive (as was the case for me) you get to park right next to the pasture...where the horses are penned up. A short walk around a building is where the bison graze. Their store is a simple room with six or seven huge freezers with a wide variety of bison meat cuts and also ground bison, sausages and burger patties. It has to be cooked differently than beef so be sure to ask Stacy for info on that. I recommend this spot!

We were late arrivals (and an early departure) so were unable to fully enjoy all that this site had to offer. The directions and scenery were, however, superb. We enjoyed a starry night sky in the evening and woke to a couple horses grazing nearby, with distant bison in the field beyond. Grateful for Stacy’s accommodating our short stay!
