A few decades ago wild game was a huge part of the average American's diet. As people moved away from the country and into the cities, however, we lost this connection to the land. Consumers relied more and more on factory farms and our meat choices were reduced to beef, pork, chicken, and lamb. Today several purveyors specialize in game meats and have made these once rare products readily available to consumers.
1. D'Artagnan
D'Artagnan is a very reputable company that is used by many professional chefs across the country. They sell a wide variety of wild game and exotic meats in numerous different cuts. You'll find buffalo, ostrich, game birds, rabbit, and wild boar among other things. You can also buy whole lambs and suckling pigs.2. Fossil Farms
Although ostrich was the original focus of Fossil Farms, the company has expanded to include farm-raised game and all natural meats such as alligator, antelope, buffalo, duck, elk, rabbit, guinea hens, Poussin, squab, venison, wild boar, Piedmontese beef, quail, pheasant and caribou.
