3 Niman Ranch - Overview Niman Ranch began in the early 1970s on an eleven acre ranch in a small coastal town just north of San Francisco. The cattle were raised using traditional, humane husbandry methods and given wholesome all-natural feeds. Before long, Niman Ranch beef became a favorite in local grocery stores and at San Francisco Bay Area restaurants. In 1995, Niman Ranch was introduced to Paul Willis, of Thornton Iowa. He was working to revitalize sustainable hog farming methods in the Midwest. Paul's commitment to raising hogs in a humane, oldfashioned way matched Niman Ranch's principles. Niman Ranch was now able to proudly offer beef, pork and lamb.
4 Niman Ranch - Overview 1998, Demand was greater than Paul s supply he started to get others involved to meet the demand. Niman Ranch Pork Company was formed. Today, the Niman Ranch network has grown to include over 676 independent American farmers and ranchers. Whether they re raising hogs, cattle or lamb, they all share Niman Ranch's dedication to the strictest protocols and the belief that all-natural, humane and sustainable methods produce the best possible flavor.
