What’s in a Name

Virginia Bison Company is the rebranding of Cibola Farms after we realized that we deserved taking such a bold name having substantially provided the region with bison meat for more than 20 years. The farm is still called Cibola Farms, and Cibola is the Spanish version of the Pueblo Indian word for Bison, which is “si:wolo” (similar to the way that avocado is the Spanish version of the Incan word aguacate). Virginia Bison Company more clearly describes what we do and where we do it.
