Whitefeather Meats is a Perkins family meat producer and retail butcher shop in Creston, Ohio, best known for bringing bison to its lineup when the family founded Whitefeather Bison Company in 1987. The Perkins family bought its local abattoir in 1993, later shifting from custom processing to sourcing and selling its own meats, including bison and grass-fed beef. The business also gave rise to the Bearded Butcher Blend, a sugar- and MSG-free seasoning created for the family’s own meats.
