Leroy and Cindy have been working back in the kitchen at the senior center for as long as we have. Last week at the market Leroy comes into the kitchen with a quart mason jar full of some clear liquid. Now i am up for a little shine in the morning, but with 300 people to serve breakfast to I was glad it was pure maple tap. I, waiting for a call from leroy and 5-10 of us will hop in a car go up north and start cooking the sap down to syrup.

Cherokee Bison Farms is a small family-owned and operated farm located in the heart of Central Wisconsin. Since 1989, Leroy and Cindy, together with Leroy's parents, have been concentrating on raising American Bison. Currently, the herd size stands at about 250 animals. All our Bison are naturally raised. No chemicals, hormones, bone or blood-meal areused. We raise all of our own feed. We implement rotational grazing practices, no feedlots. Bison is naturally lower in fat, calories and cholesterol than beef, por, chidken or turkey! It's just as versatile as beef, but tastier and considerably more lean, and is never dry if it's not overcook.
