Our Eastern Nebraska Farming and Ranching Partners

The Nebraska families who raise our pasture-raised pork, lamb, and grass-fed bison

Pawnee Pride Meats has been proudly serving southeast Nebraska for over 25 years. During that time, demand for our sustainably raised, grass-fed beef and free-range chicken, turkey, and eggs has continued to grow -- especially among families in Omaha and Lincoln looking for high-quality, pasture-based foods.

To meet that growing demand, we partner with trusted, like-minded farms across eastern Nebraska that specialize in pasture-raised pork, grass-fed lamb, and premium bison. Working alongside these ranching families, we're able to offer a wider selection of high-quality, pasture-raised meats -- raised with the same care and commitment you expect from Pawnee Pride.

Bluff Creek Farm

The Ken Thiltges family has developed a sustainable, grassfed sheep ranch along the bluffs of the Missouri River. They also grow organic grains and forages, and raise pastured poultry. The Thiltges have developed the grass and the grassfed sheep genetics to provide the best lamb around. We are pleased to make these products available to you.

Grain Place Foods

The Grain Place is a certified organic farm and processor located in Marquette, Nebraska. We have had a long-standing and enjoyable relationship with Dave Vetter, owner, and Mike Herman, manager. They raise hogs in large, open paddocks and feed them organic by-products from their milling operations. We believe that their pastured pork is so good that we just had to make it available to you.

Tegtmeier Buffalo

Jim and Michelle Tegtmeier operate a small buffalo ranch immediately east of Burchard Lake Wildlife Management Area. Unlike most ranchers today, Tegtmeier bison (buffalo) are entirely grassfed, field-harvested and processed at Den's Country Meats in Table Rock. We get quite-a-few requests for bison meat and no one produces higher quality bison than these fine Nebraska folks. We're proud to share their products with our Pawnee Pride friends and customer.
