Where the Buffalo Roam!
The dream that Carl Steiner and his wife Eloise fulfilled began in 1991 on top of East
Hill. East Hill is just outside of the village of Townshend and Harmonyville.
It started on their 175 acre farm with three animals; two one-year old female bison from
the Perry Farm in Charlotte, Vermont, and a South Dakota bull bison called Henry.
Commonly known as buffalo in the USA, the correct scientific name is bison. The
herd has now grown to thirty-four head and continues to grow each year. This year
alone has produced ten healthy calves.
Low fat, low cholesterol Buffalo meat is available upon request at the Steiner
residence. Also available ready-cooked from East Hill Bison Stock are buffalo
burgers at the Townshend Dam Diner. Stephanie will cook your burger to perfection.
All East Hill Bison meat is Vermont inspected. There are no chemical
additives or antibiotics involved in breeding bison for meat. There have also been
no allergic reactions to eating buffalo meat. Buffalo are no longer an endangered
species and now number 400,000 in the United States.
