North Bridger Bison

We’ve stopped in Montana only a few times over the years. Since everyone seems to be obsessed with Kevin Costner and Yellowstone lately, we thought we would revisit the state – and the work of many regenerative ranchers that were there long before the show arrived on the airwaves. Matt and Sarah Skoglund proudly run their bison ranch based on five pillars: sunshine, water, soil, grass and (of course) bison. They care for their livestock by caring for their land first: beautiful rolling grasslands on the Shields Valley at the feet of the picturesque North Bridger Mountains, right in the heart of Big Sky country. Have you ever pet a bison? Don’t do it here. We’ll get the pleasure of being entranced by their beauty, but it’s a strictly look-don’t-touch situation. Our guest chef, Eduardo Garcia, knows a thing or two about bison, and about cooking in a Big Sky kitchen. Through Montana Mex, he blends his love for his home state of Montana with Mexican flavors, encouraging everyone to play in the kitchen. He is an avid outdoorsman and a chef with a lifelong passion for food and connection, a perfect combination for anyone joining us out in the field.
