Liz Riffle is a U.S. military veteran, educator, and trailblazing entrepreneur dedicated to reshaping the future of regenerative agriculture and ethical leadership in the bison industry. Liz owns and operates two farm based businesses: Riffle Farms - American Bison ranch in TerraAlta, WV where she brings structure to the wild and soul to the business — raising regenerative, grass-fed and finished bison with integrity and intention.

Riffle Farms Market & Co-op in Norfolk, Virginia — a regional hub for grass-fed and pasture-raised meats including bison, elk, beef, pork, and poultry. Known for her innovative agritourism and farm-to-table approach, she’s creating immersive food experiences that connect consumers to local food systems, from steaming bison hotdogs at the beach to educational butchery classes at the farm.
