Buffalo Safari Products

Discover appetizing all natural meat that is locally reared close to nature at the Buffalo Safari farm in Bouctouche, NB. High in iron and protein, low in fat and cholesterol and gaining in popularity – Yes! It’s buffalo meat! A unique product that was once very expensive to bring to market, it has now become a popular, less expensive and much healthier diet choice for the health conscious meat eater. Found locally at the Marché Dieppe Market as well as the Shediac and Moncton Co-op stores, this excellent meat comes in all the popular cuts and products including burgers, sausages, roasts, meat pies, jerkey, and steak including tenderloin, T-bone, pepper steak, and fast fry. Dark in colour and sweeter to the taste due to its low fat content (75% less fat than other meats), buffalo meat is clean, lean, and cooks quickly at a lower heat than most other meats.

Locally reared in conditions closely resembling the wild at Seawind Buffalo Farm, the Buffalo roam freely. Established in 1989, Seawind Buffalo Farm began with 40 wild buffalo shipped in from Manitoba. Purchased two years ago by Marco Servant, it is his intention to make buffalo meat more accessible in response to a growing demand for this quality meat. "Sales of buffalo meat are definitely on the increase," says Mr. Servant. "Buffalo meat has been very well received by the public." With a commitment to refrain from force feeding, antibiotics and hormones, Seawind buffalo are naturally fed on haylage, grass, and hay in a natural environment that has been government inspected to ensure proper rearing and slaughtering standards.

Seawind Buffalo Ranch is also a wild adventure for the whole family. Safari tours are offered as an exciting close-up experience of buffalo life in the wild. Western style wagons drive through scenic pastures among the animals that can be viewed from safe and comfortable surroundings with knowledgeable tour guides well equipped to educate and to entertain guests with a colourful blend of fact and legend.

Mark Nelson - Garden Rocks

Throughout history, mankind has had a unique relationship with stone. Used as tools by the caveman, as markers on a barren landscape by the Inuit, as instruments of conflict, as monuments by every culture since the dawn of time, as articles of shelter, as a medium of art, stones have come to mark man’s journey on this planet. Workers in stone follow an ancient art developed in antiquity and continuing into modern times. At the Marché Moncton Market for a few weeks each year, Mark Nelson of Nelson Monuments’ Heritage Memorials Ltd. showcases his talents etched in stone on wonderful garden rocks and stepping stones that bear inspirational and whimsical messages such as "Faith," "Hope," "Grandma’s Garden," or whatever the client desires. Such personalized decorative additions to your property or garden offer lasting beauty or memorial markers as in the case of a pet gravestone or similar reminder.

Mark Nelson belongs to a family of expert carvers of stone memorials offering complete monument services in design, fabrication, and laser etching. Also, members of the Monument Builders of North America and the Better Business Bureau, they have been carrying on a family tradition since 1909. This well-known company provides expert services for area cemeteries and funeral homes as well. Often, travelling in the road to work on location, Mark devotes his spare time to creating unique garden tributes on the lighter side of his career in memorial monuments.
