Broken Wagon Bison — Local services in South Haven

Great little adventure. I was traveling up to Chicago with my ol' lady. She's racked out in the car, so I decided to take a little detour off of the interstate. Broken Wagon Bison popped up on my maps and figured I would surprise her when she woke up. As I pulled up it didn't look as if anyone was home, although there is a small office in the barn. The door was locked, so I was quite bummed. As I sat in the van deciding the next destination a big man in overalls came walking out of the house. He looked like Santa Clause on steroids with his big white beard and muscles. He smiled and waived us out of the car. He basically started an impromptu tour right away. As we were the only ones there on a late weekday morning, he took us over to the nearest gate where he had a few calves. He asked my lady if she wanted to feed them a bottle, which she declined, but I did get her to go up and pet them. We ended up chatting for over an hour and he had some really fun stories. You can tell he really cares about these creatures. Some are considered pets and the others, well they will eventually become burgers. We eventually made it in to the office where I bought some burgers, jerky, and a nice bison steak. He tossed in some extra burgers since we showed up and there was no one there to great us. I highly recommend taking the side roads, you never know what...

I can see why - our kids said they'd go back every weekend. 😂 The owners are incredibly passionate about their bison which they're happy to share. Incredibly friendly, knowledgeable and the stories we heard were both fascinating, funny and educational. There are so many neat goodies to buy in the gift shop, too, including meat. It's a great way for people to connect with our nation's history, support the revival of an animal that helped shape our country and to understand a little about farming/where your meat comes from while...

This was a great farm. We got an informative presentation by the owner and watched an historical video. After the education section of the tour we had a hayride out to the field for a close up view of the bison. We also came at a time when one calf needed to be bottle fed and we were able to see that close up. Overall, I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in doing something educational and fun. They also have a...
