Niman Ranch started its business nearly thirty years ago in Marin County, just across the Golden Gate Bridge from San Francisco. We still raise cattle on the original ranch, but have expanded to sell pork and lamb, too. We work with over 500 independent family farmers who raise livestock for us, according to our strict protocols.

Great Taste
Great taste is our goal at Niman Ranch, achieved through our strict animal husbandry guidelines that include treating our animals humanely, feeding them all-natural feeds, and allowing them to mature naturally. This commitment has established our reputation for the finest tasting meat in the world.

We offer our beef, pork and lamb to restaurants, retailers and directly to consumers through our on-line market.

Many restaurants list “Niman Ranch” on their menu. When the chef is willing to brand a product on their menu, it is a strong quality endorsement. We are proud to enjoy menu branding at both white tablecloth restaurants and more casual dining establishments.

Traceability
By working with a network of independent family farmers, we control our meat all the way from the farm until it reaches our customers. Most meat in the United States goes through many distribution layers before it reaches the consumer. We know where and how each piece of meat is produced and provide direct feedback to our farmers and ranchers about quality.

At Niman Ranch, our skilled team of butchers portions our meat daily to customers' specifications. We conduct tastings of our product regularly to ensure that it meets our rigorous taste standards.

Today, our ranchers, butchers, office staff, and drivers are fulfilling the vision upon which the company was founded to bring the best possible meat to customers while practicing the highest standards of husbandry and environmental stewardship.

Niman Ranch beef, pork and lamb are available for on-line purchase. Visit our Niman Ranch Online Market to place your order. See Where to Buy for complete list of retailers and Where to Eat for a listing of restaurants that serve Niman Ranch meat.
