Can I Order Bison or Venison for Delivery?

By Anna Smith•

Short answer: Not from True Nature Meats. And here's why that's actually good news for your kitchen.

Let me be direct: if you're after bison, venison, elk, or other game meats, you'll need to find a specialty supplier. True Nature Meats focuses on what we do best—premium beef, pork, and chicken that's globally inspired, pre-cooked to perfection, and ready in minutes. We don't carry exotic or game meats, and that's by design.

But before you click away, let me explain why this matters—and what you can get delivered that might surprise you.

Why We Don't Offer Exotic Meats

Exotic meats like bison and venison are leaner than beef, with distinct flavor profiles that appeal to adventurous eaters. They're also trickier to source ethically, more expensive per pound, and often require different cooking techniques to avoid drying out. At True Nature Meats, we've built our reputation on consistency, quality, and convenience. That means sourcing from trusted ranches across Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Australia, Japan, and the American West—and perfecting recipes until they're foolproof.

Game meats don't fit that model. Bison has about half the fat of beef. Great for nutrition, but it overcooks fast. Venison is similarly lean and can turn tough if you blink at the wrong moment. Our entire lineup is pre-cooked and seasoned, designed to deliver steakhouse-quality results in minutes—no guesswork, no risk. Adding exotic meats would compromise that guarantee.

If You Really Want Exotic Meats: A Pro's Advice

If you're determined to cook bison, venison, or elk at home, here's what I'd tell you:

  1. Know the fat content. Bison is roughly 2-3% fat compared to beef's 10-15% for similar cuts. That means you need to cook it low and slow, or fast and hot—never in between. Use a meat thermometer religiously. Medium-rare bison is 130°F; anything beyond 140°F and you're eating shoe leather.
  2. Venison needs a marinade or brine. It's extremely lean and can taste gamey if not handled properly. A buttermilk brine or a red wine marinade with herbs helps tenderize and tame the flavor. Cook venison steaks to 125°F for rare, then rest.
  3. Source ethically. Game meats can come from farmed or wild sources. Farmed is more consistent; wild has stronger flavor but higher risk of contamination if not handled correctly. Always buy from a reputable supplier that follows USDA guidelines.
  4. Expect to pay more. Bison ground meat often runs $8-$12 per pound; steaks can hit $20-$30 per pound. Venison is similarly priced. Compare that to our Wagyu Sirloin Steak, which delivers buttery marbling and melt-in-your-mouth texture for less than many exotic meats.

The Real Value: What You're Getting

When you order from True Nature Meats, you're not just getting meat—you're getting time. No thawing, no seasoning, no worrying if you'll overcook a $30 bison steak. You're getting globally inspired flavors tested and refined by culinary pros. You're getting honest pricing—we don't charge by raw weight like grocery stores do with their subpar cuts. And you're getting the confidence that every meal will turn out right.

So no, you can't order bison or venison from us. But you can order a Ribeye that rivals any steakhouse, a Texas Smoked Brisket that tastes like 12 hours of pit work, or a Brazilian Garlic Steak that transports your dinner table to South America. All in minutes. All delivered to your door.

That's the true nature of convenience—and it's why families keep coming back.

Bottom line: If exotic game is your passion, find a specialist. But if you want premium beef, pork, and chicken that's ready when you are, we've got you covered. Pull up a chair.
