Force of Nature
Regeneratively-raised meat from a single Texas ranch, including the organ-blended Ancestral options that most freezer cases won't carry.
The Standard
Single-origin where it claims to be single-origin. The bison, elk, and venison come from Roam Ranch and a small set of regenerative partner ranches the team has visited and audited. Ancestral Blends include organ meats from the same animals, not powdered organ from elsewhere. Packaging is recyclable and the order ships frozen on dry ice rather than wet ice that leaks.
Founder & story
Force of Nature is the consumer arm of Roam Ranch, a 900-acre regenerative property outside Fredericksburg, Texas. The company was started by Robby and Katie Forman Sansom in 2017 as a way to fund the ranch's land-restoration work — bison rotation, native grass reseeding, stream remediation — by giving the resulting meat a direct-to-consumer home rather than dumping it into a commodity supply chain.
What's in it (and what isn't)
Beef, bison, venison, and elk are 100% grass-fed and grass-finished. Organ percentages in the Ancestral Blends are published per SKU (typically 10–25% by weight, mostly heart and liver). No nitrates, no fillers, no carrageenan. The chicken is the weakest sourcing — pasture-raised but from a partner farm, not their own ranch.
Where they fall short
Pricing is not for the squeamish — ground bison runs roughly twice what you'd pay for grocery-store grass-fed beef, and ground beef sits around $14 per pound. Shipping is reliable but you cannot beat the per-pound cost down by ordering small; the math only works if you commit to a freezer load. The chicken line, as noted, is sourced from a partner rather than Roam Ranch, and they don't currently publish that partner farm's name. Lastly, the brand leans hard into "ancestral" marketing in ways that can read as overheated if you came for the meat and not the philosophy.
Who it's for
Households running a chest freezer who want regeneratively-sourced ground bison or organ blends without piecing it together from three different ranchers.
What to buy first
A 5-pack of the Ancestral Blend ground beef. It's the SKU that proves whether the organ ratio works for your family before you commit to a bulk order.
