Why Eat Wild Game
Eating wild game offers several health benefits, making it a nutritious alternative to commercially raised meats.
Here are some key health benefits:
-
Wild game is lower in fat compared to farmed meats. This makes wild meat a more natural source of lean protein, rich in healthier fats like omega-3s and lower in saturated fats. It also provides essential nutrients like iron, zinc, and vitamins B and B12.​​​
​
-
Wild animals used for game meat live off natural diets making venison and wild game birds leaner, lower in fat and cholesterol, and higher in protein compared to conventional meats.
-
Wild game has a lower carbon footprint than meat from traditionally farmed animals.
​
-
All our meats are free from antibiotics, hormones and other additives, offering you pure and natural wild game meat. ​​

Game meat is a key component of the Paleo diet, also known as the "Caveman" diet. This diet consists of lean meat, fish, fruits, and nuts, reflecting the foods our hunter-gatherer ancestors consumed for 30,000 years. It wasn’t until about 2,000 years ago that humans began farming wheat and other cereals. Since then, our digestive systems have not fully adapted to handle high-carbohydrate, high-gluten diets.​​
​
Overall, wild game is a nutritious, natural, and sustainable option that can contribute to a healthy diet allowing you to continue to eat meat as part of a conscientious balanced diet. Even more important thought is that game meat has a delicious flavour and there are many tasty and creative dishes that can be prepared with game meat as well as substituting it in your everyday dishes.
