Here’s a letter from our one of our newest Zone Apprentice Coaches, Craig Rice. Is anybody hungry??
Hi Zoners,
It’s time for another order from our Maluma Bison distributor from the mainland, Karsten Schellhas Co-Founder of Maluma Bison. They raise 100% grass-fed bison without antibiotics or growth hormones. We put in an order last year, and I for one can’t wait to get some more.
If we receive enough interest from you Zoner’s we will put in another order this year! If you are interested in placing an order, please email Craig at craig@crossfitzone.ca
TOTAL PRICE is approximately $290.00 – $340.00 per box. ($6.80/lb of meat)
Order Deadline is Aug 26th.
If you want to know more about this whole grass-fed bison phenomenon, check out this video:

Buy-in: Front Squat OR Overhead Squat 5 x 5
- Work up in weight quickly to a heavy (but not max) 5 reps

Zone 2 – substitute jumping ring dips and scale wallballs to 10/14
Zone 1 – scale as needed
Cash-Out: Tally up your reps and then an easy lap of the block as a group
Can anyone who ordered last time comment on the meat: taste (gamey/not gamey/etc), tenderness, lean or fatty, etc?
We were happy with the quality and taste. The steaks and ground bison were nice and lean. Obviously it takes a little more care when cooking because lean meats dry out easily.
Our biggest problem was finding room in the freezer for the 50 lbs! If we order again I'd be tempted to split the order with some one else.
i am in for sharing another box
I would love to share with someone
Craig & I demolished all of our bison last time. It was SO GOOD. Look at them… they look delicious. We want to order even more meat this time.
hopefully you will come to pick it up this time!!!
thanks again for that, very unlike me to forget something food related.
Ya, we finished a box in a month. We should probably get 2, or maybe order 1 and split one with someone if they want to.
I sent you an e-mail craig. But i will for sure take a box. Maybe two
Love this quote from Kelly Starrett (MobilityWOD) “A Crossfit gym is a lab: it’s a safe place to press boundaries, experiment, test and re-test, see what works and what doesn’t work, and become better athletes.” His view for me is bang on… if only I could remember all the time that it's about the process & the not the destination… http://running.competitor.com/2011/08/features/bu…
I'm in for a box. Depending on when the order will arrive (away for 2 weeks in September)?
I'm in for a box also!
Ahh, Jim picking up on my mistake. I should have mentioned that there is a bit of a turnaround time to get the meat… since they are currently still living. The order goes in at the end of August and then the meat will arrive closer to November. Due to the time required to slaughter, age, and freeze all other delicious little critters. So gone is Sept is no problem!
Also if people wanting a box could send an email to craig@crossfitzone.ca from an email that they check, then I'll add you to the mailing list and keep you updated as to the status of our hairy beasts, and a more specific date of delivery and cost.
Thanks Craig – I'll send an email as instructed.
