Set in the scenic ridges and valleys of Vernon County, our farm offers a rare chance to ethically harvest your own bison while supporting a local, family-operated agricultural tradition. Located just 1.5 hours from Madison and about 3 hours from Minneapolis–Saint Paul and Green Bay, the farm is both accessible and deeply rooted in Wisconsin’s rural heritage.

The property, located just outside of Hillsboro, spans gently rolling pastures and lightly wooded edges where our free-roaming bison herd is rotationally grazed. Managed with traditional Amish farming practices, the land provides a grounded, no-frills experience that emphasizes respect for the animal, the land, and the process. Whether you’re looking to fill the freezer with lean, nutrient-dense meat or seeking a closer connection to where your food comes from, this is a meaningful and unique harvest opportunity.

All bison hunts are conducted in accordance with Wisconsin state law. While bison are considered an agricultural product in the state. As such, hunters must purchase the animal prior to harvest, with payment due through LandTrust before delivery. Once ownership is transferred, the hunter can choose their preferred harvest method, such as field harvest with a firearm or bow, and we will work with you to ensure the process meets both legal requirements and your preferences.

The farm does not offer lodging, but nearby towns provide comfortable accommodations, and the host is happy to offer local recommendations. Basic field access and light assistance are available, and freezer space or processing referrals may be arranged upon request.

Note: Elmer, the landowner, is a proud member of the Amish community. He is relying on neighbors and LandTrust to field new inquiries for hunts. Please give him a couple days of grace in between response times with his limited technology use.
