About Us

One of our family's favorite seasons is the fall.

The air gets crisper, leaves begin to fall, and we might even get a few flurries here and there.

Our favorite part of this season, though, is deer season! It's an opportunity to fill our bellies - and the freezers of course, it's always nice to know where your food comes from - but more importantly it's time that we get to spend together in the still quiet of the cool mornings connecting with each other and beautiful nature around us. The life-long connections made with family and friends during this time of year is irreplaceable.

A few years ago, we ran into an issue when it came to processing our game when the local providers of this important service had closed their doors forever. We found ourselves traveling hours with our game in the back of our vehicles because we didn't have the resources or the knowledge to do it on our own.

Fast-forward to 2021. We have dedicated space, proper tools, efficient refrigeration and the knowledge to process game with the least amount of waste possible. We believe the field-to-fork connection is key and felt moved to share our family's passion with our local community.

That's when The Buck Stops Here LLC was born.
