Our Story
Wild Buck was born where passion for food meets love of the wild.
Founded by award-winning farmhouse cheesemaker Richard Cooper, Wild Buck began on the trails of mountain running and ultra-endurance events. As a competitor, Richard saw the lack of natural, savoury, high-protein snacks to fuel long hours outdoors — everything was sweet, synthetic, or both.
At the same time, he was witnessing the ecological strain caused by Ireland’s overpopulation of deer — a growing problem quietly damaging forests and biodiversity.
That’s when an idea took shape:
Why not create something truly good?
Good for people. Good for nature.
Harnessing his expertise in artisan food and his commitment to sustainability, Richard began developing a range of snacks made from wild venison — a meat that’s nutrient-rich, full of flavour, and responsibly sourced from animals that roam freely.
Today, Wild Buck exists to offer wholesome, portable fuel made with care — for runners, hikers, and anyone hungry for something better.
