Finding strength in the herd.
Healing mind, body, and soul.
We’re stronger together. Resilient animals and courageous injury survivors unite to create a life with more independence and dignity.
Here in big sky country, large herds of bison run free – no fences, no barriers, no boundaries.
Welcome to Merica Strong. Here, the broken find strength, and the strong find peace. At Merica Strong, we open our gates to first responders, military veterans, tradesmen, and courageous survivors living with the invisible and visible scars of service, labor, and life’s hardest battles.
On our ranch, healing begins not with words, but with connection — a quiet moment between human and animal, hand and heart, land and soul. Every day, we witness what happens when purpose meets compassion: minds calm, bodies strengthen, and hope returns.
We’re more than a ranch. We’re a family built on grit, love, and the belief that every life deserves restoration.
Join us. Support us. Help us build Merica Strong — a place where courage finds healing and the human spirit rises again.
Celebrate Abilities. Restore Strength. Reclaim Purpose.
