Niman Ranch has partnered with the The James Beard Foundation since 2017 to support their impact work. A highlight of this effort is the JBF Chef Bootcamp for Policy and Change™, where a group of chefs are brought together from across the country to learn from the best of the best about the Farm Bill, advocacy and how they can use their voice and purchasing decisions to build a better food system. We recently wrapped up the latest Bootcamp held at Carnation Farms outside Seattle and are leaving inspired and excited to see what these chefs do next!

“It brings joy to me raising animals like this and farming this way.” We are so proud to partner with Eric and Mikala Boor, young Iowa farmers who are choosing an unconventional path for their family by raising pigs outdoors, naturally. The Boors were featured in the latest episode of Iowa PBS's Iowa Life program, highlighting the challenges of getting started as young farmers and why this way of farming fits their family. Thank you Charity Nebbe, Rachel Mummey and the whole production crew for taking the time to get to know the Boors and Niman Ranch! #RaisedWithCare You can watch the segment here beginning at 20:40: https://lnkd.in/gKkjXCzX

Trisha and Nolan Zachman farm in a small town two hours west of Minneapolis, Minnesota. They grow a variety of crops, pasture-raise pigs for Niman Ranch, care for other various animals - in addition to raising two young children and running a farm stay experience. “If we didn’t have Niman Ranch, we wouldn’t be raising pigs…we are a small farm.. Niman gives us the opportunity to just be a small family farm,” says Trisha. Thank you Food Tank for sharing their story and to the Zachman family for their commitment to humane and sustainable farming! #RaisedWithCare #FinestTastingMeatInTheWorld

Thank you Compassion in World Farming for awarding Niman Ranch with the Good Sow Commendation! We were honored to receive this recognition at the Good Farm Animal Welfare Awards ceremony held last week in Paris, France among other companies and farmers around the world proving every day that raising higher welfare livestock is not just possible—it can be good for business too. Niman Ranch and White Oak Pastures were the only two U.S. companies to receive this pig welfare commendation, demonstrating its rigorous standards. We dedicate this award to our farmer network who put in the extra care and attention every day to raise their livestock humanely, sustainably and crate-free. #RaisedWithCare #FinestTastingMeatInTheWorld Read More > https://lnkd.in/gjwzzAJD

We're proud to help him achieve his farming goals without going into debt or having to take an off-farm job. Thank you to Emily Payne and Food Tank for sharing why Kody and his family choose to partner with Niman Ranch for a "guaranteed market for their products that pays a premium."

Kevin Ervin Kelley, AIA thank you again for sharing your expertise at our annual Hog Farmer Appreciation Celebration last month. More importantly, thank you for continuing to share your experience with others, highlighting the daily hard work U.S. independent family farmers, like those who are a part of the Niman Ranch network, put into growing healthy, humanely and sustainably raised food. #RaisedWithCare
Architect. Author. Saving Humanity, One Place at a Time.
Despite growing up in the rural South, I spend most of my days in the big city now. However, it’s nice to get back out to the country every so often to get my feet grounded in the fertile soil that makes up the heartland of America. Last month, I had the opportunity to speak at the 26th Annual Niman Ranch Hog Farmer Appreciation Celebration in Des Moines, Iowa. While you'd think this event would focus exclusively on pigs, the conference entailed a comprehensive discussion and eye-opening reveal of the serious challenges family farmers and ranchers confront to put healthy food on our tables. During this enlightening conference, I heard from leading food advocates, famous chefs, and White House policymakers about the importance of maintaining a healthy food system. I also got to talk with one of my favorite authors, Temple Grandin. But the best part was interacting with the hardworking families who've dedicated their lives to growing and raising high quality food. Thanks to Niman Ranch and Food Tank for hosting this illuminating event in Des Moines, Iowa, and for shedding more light on the vital role that small family farmers and ranchers play in feeding this great nation of ours. #farmers #ranchers #food #restaurants #grocerystores #supermarkets #foodretail #hogfarming #iowa FMI- The Food Industry Association National Grocers Association Specialty Food Association #chefs #gourmet

At Niman Ranch, all our pork, beef and lamb products are raised by independent U.S. family farmers and ranchers using Certified Humane® and sustainable practices. We're proud the ASPCA included us in their Shop With Your Heart program and highlighted our products in their recent blog showcasing options that make it easy for parents to prioritize farm animal welfare during the busy back-to-school season! #RaisedWithCare
