ABOUT PARADISE
VALLEY BUFFALO RANCH

Paradise Valley Buffalo Ranch is nestled among the scenic hills of the original family homestead in Clearwater County, Minnesota. Beautiful Clearwater County is home to famous Itasca State Park, located at the headwaters of the mighty Mississippi River. Paradise Valley sits just north of the continental divide at the head of the Clearwater River watershed which flows to the Red River of the North. In this serene setting, eagles fly over our pine and mixed hardwood forest and loons call from the nearby lake.

Our bison herd now roams on land cleared by hand by Grandfather Hayes at the turn of the century, protected in the valley even from bitter northern Minnesota winter winds. Grasses grow tall and lush while sparkling, clean water flows, nourishing the buffalo well. Visitors exclaim over the peacefulness of such a lovely place tucked away just a few miles from the main highway.

Paradise Valley Buffalo Ranch bison are raised in an all natural environment, living in harmony with nature year round. Our goal is to keep the health of our animals a priority. We work with local veterinarians and animal nutritionists. Feed companies that have done extensive research in Minnesota, Dakota and Canada have put together our balanced food ration made up of 100% natural grains, vitamins, and minerals, and no animal by-products. We practice pasture rotation so our animals are kept on fresh grasses for better health and parasite control. These measures assure a healthy product for you and your family.
