About Carolina Bison
Located in the lush Blue Ridge Mountains of Western North Carolina, Carolina Bison raises its herd on top-quality grasses and pure mountain spring water. Our robust bison graze freely on hundreds of open pasture acreage, reminiscent of the original native herds.
Founded by Dr. Frank King in 1985, Carolina Bison is proudly one of the largest bison ranches in the Northeastern region. With a mission to improve the health of his patients, Dr. King began prescribing bison meat with astonishing results. As an alternative to commercial red meat, his patients commonly experienced more energy, fewer digestive issues, and increased immune function.
Dr. King’s son, Frankie King Jr. serves as Carolina Bison’s C.O.O while actively participating as Regional Director of the National Bison Association. Driven by the great history of the American bison, the King family is committed to educating the public on the endless benefits of bison. Securing the future for these impressive animals remains an important agenda for the King’s.
In keeping with Dr. King’s vision for optimum health, Carolina Bison are raised without the use of any added hormones, antibiotics or stimulants. The herd is highly respected and humanly treated by the entire team. We proudly participate in Animal Welfare Approved harvesting. 100% pure, natural, all American bison.
