Co-producer(*):  One who has evolved beyond that of a consumer.  A co-producer is curious, thoughtful & informed about their purchasing decisions. They are willing to explore, to learn and to understand the issues of ethical food & goods production.  As a result, they buy in a way that supports small family farms, humanely raised livestock and sustainable, earth-friendly practices.

With all of our products, we welcome you as a Lindner Grassfed Bison co-producer. We appreciate your efforts and are grateful for the opportunity to build a relationship with you!

(*)Concept originated by Carlo Petrini, founder, Slow Food.  Lindner Bison was inspired to create this definition from Mr. Petrini’s speech which is online
