DARIEN | Troy Bivens and Sherry DiSimone intended to run a ranch.

But when your livestock is buffalo, your spread becomes an attraction. They decided to give the public what they want, the couple said, and they’re holding an open house March 30 as an introduction.

“We’re into tourism in a big way,’’ DiSimone said, as evidenced by the elevated cart they use to drive their pastures and let visitors look down on their herd of 35 American bison on 50 acres beside U.S. 17 north of Darien.
