SUPPORT LOCAL: AOF AND THE BOISE FARMERS MARKET

As we welcome the warm embrace of summer, the bustling  Boise Farmers Market becomes a hub for those who share a commitment to local sourcing and sustainable living. American Ostrich Farms (AOF) is proud to be a part of this vibrant community, offering a unique and sustainable alternative to traditional meats through our locally-raised ostrich products.

WHY CHOOSE OSTRICH MEAT?

Ostrich meat isn't just delicious—it's also a nutrient dense powerhouse. Boasting impressive benefits, ostrich meat is lean and packed with iron and protein, making it a perfect choice for health-conscious consumers. What's more, ostriches require significantly less land, water, and feed compared to traditional livestock, which means choosing ostrich meat helps reduce our ecological footprint.

FIND US AT BFM

Visiting the Boise Farmers Market offers us a unique opportunity to meet and talk to new customers. We're there every weekend, ready to chat with you about the benefits of ostrich meat and how we raise our birds right here in Idaho. You can sample our products, learn new recipes, and take home a variety of cuts, from steaks to burgers.

COMMITTED TO SUSTAINABILITY AND QUALITY

Our commitment to sustainability extends beyond our farming practices. We strive to maintain a transparent supply chain by keeping our operations local and ensuring that every aspect of our production meets high standards of environmental stewardship. This dedication is not only good for the planet but also ensures the highest quality and freshness of our products.

JOIN US IN SUPPORTING LOCAL

IS OSTRICH HARD TO DIGEST?

When people hear "red meat," they often think of beef, lamb, or venison—delicious, yes, but sometimes a little heavy on the stomach. Ostrich, on the other hand, is often described as the red meat that doesn’t weigh you down. But what does that mean for digestion?

Halloween is all fun until the fake blood, face paint, and heavy makeup need to come off. Harsh cleansers or scrubbing can leave your skin looking more like a mummy than a glowing witch. That’s where ostrich oil saves the night.
