As the buffalo range across the open prairie, they do more than munch: Their hooves replant native grass seeds that fall from their coats, restoring the grasslands. And as the grasslands spring back to life, so do native birds, prairie dogs, foxes, hawks, eagles, reptiles, small mammals and more. As Dan says, “Conservation and the protection of prairie biodiversity are our main products. Buffalo meat is the delicious byproduct that (sometimes) helps pay the bills.”
Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard first tasted this distinctive chile while camping with gauchos in 1967, and we recently found the right source for it high in the province of Salta, in the arid, mountainous northwest.
