Water buffalo products are in a class of their own in terms of health and taste. Water buffalo meat is incredibly lean and tender, and the pure, porcelain white milk is protein and calcium rich.

Animal care is the top priority of each BCWBPA farm. We are passionate about our water buffalo and about ethical, sustainable farm practices that produce quality meat.
