Niman Ranch started with one farm.
Today, we still work with one farm family at a time, but we are proud to support a large network of U.S. family farmers and ranchers – more than 600 and growing! Many are second- and third-generation farmers who inherited the land from their parents and grandparents. These family farmers’ passion for the land and raising livestock provides the foundation for Niman Ranch’s finest tasting meat.
