Texas Tribal Buffalo Project Becomes First EBT/SNAP-Accessible Indigenous Bison Meat Brand to Earn GO TEXAN Certification
Texas Tribal Buffalo Project Is GO TEXAN Certified and Expanding Access to Bison Meat Across Turtle Island
We are proud to announce that Texas Tribal Buffalo Project is now officially GO TEXAN Certified by the Texas Department of Agriculture. This certification recognizes Texas-grown agricultural products that support local producers and honor regional values. For us, it confirms what we have always known: our work with Buffalo is rooted in care, quality, and cultural responsibility.
We are also proud to be the only Bison meat producer in the United States that accepts EBT/SNAP benefits and ships nationwide. Our Buffalo meat is now more accessible than ever, reaching families and communities across Turtle Island.
Expanding Food Access with Buffalo Meat You Can Trust
When you buy from Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, you are not just purchasing high-quality meat. You are supporting:
Indigenous-led regenerative ranching
Access to traditional, nutrient-dense foods
Food sovereignty and dignity through EBT/SNAP accessibility
Rematriation grounded in cultural knowledge
We believe everyone should have access to clean, nourishing food. By offering nationwide shipping and SNAP payment options, we are breaking down the barriers that keep traditional foods out of reach.
What Is the GO TEXAN Program?
The GO TEXAN program supports Texas-based producers who are committed to local agriculture, economic development, and sustainable practices. When you see the GO TEXAN logo, you know you are buying from a trusted source that reflects the values of our state.
For Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, GO TEXAN certification increases visibility, builds trust with new customers, and strengthens our position in the local and national marketplace. It connects our Buffalo meat with buyers who care about quality, origin, and purpose.
A Mission Rooted in Indigenous Foodways
Buffalo are more than livestock. They are relatives, teachers, and central to our food systems and spiritual survival. At Texas Tribal Buffalo Project, we blend traditional ecological knowledge with regenerative ranching methods to:
Heal relationships between land, animal, and people
Reclaim Indigenous food practices
Build local food systems with global impact
Educate and empower Native and non-Native communities
Every cut of meat, every package we ship, carries a story of rematriation and resistance.
What’s Next for Texas Tribal Buffalo Project
You will start to see the GO TEXAN badge on our products, website, and at events across the state. Our online store remains open, and we continue to accept EBT/SNAP payments and ship Buffalo meat across Turtle Island.
We are also growing our community partnerships, expanding educational programs, and working with other Indigenous food leaders to strengthen local economies and restore land-based knowledge.
