This weekend we hosted our 26th Hog Farmer Appreciation Celebration including hog farm tours for our guests. We hear year after year from our partners how impactful it is for them to meet Niman Ranch pigs, see how much space they have, how calm and curious they are, and experience firsthand the humane practices our farmers use every day to raise their pigs with care. Thank you to Paul and Andrea Brown and Eric and Mikala Boor for sharing your farms with us and your hospitality! #RaisedWithCare

This great event is right around the corner and a great way to continue the conversations on a more humane and sustainable food system started at our annual Hog Farmer Appreciation Celebration last weekend.
Edible Institute 2024 is approaching quickly! We couldn't have made this event possible without the support of our sponsors, Niman Ranch, Fed by Blue, Bristol Seafood, Blue Circle Foods, and Experience Maine. We invited you to learn more about the work they are doing locally and globally to work toward a more sustainable food system and economy. Find the full agenda for Sept. 13 and buy your tickets to attend here - Edibleinstitute.com #ediblecommunities #edibleinstitute #loyaltolocal #aquaculture #bluefoods #hopeinthewater #savetheoceans #sustainableseafood #mainefood #futureoffood #sustainblefood

“Animal science is what’s taught in college now…It used to be animal husbandry, [meaning] the real relationship it takes to steward and take care of these animals, not just produce pork...the stability that Niman Ranch has provided us in the past 22 years has enabled us to hang on to the farm with really minimal worries,” says Ethan Roberts. “It’s so much less risk than your average producer deals with.” Thank you our partners at Food Tank for sharing Ethan's story and highlighting how important it is to invest in young farmers. Ethan is both a Niman Ranch farmer and former Niman Ranch intern!

This week, we joined other hog farmers and pork companies in Washington, DC to share with policymakers why we oppose the highly controversial EATS Act inclusion in the Farm Bill. The EATS Act would roll back California’s Proposition 12, the country’s strongest animal welfare law, and take away economic opportunity for higher-welfare hog farmers. We're particularly grateful to U.S. Representative Jim McGovern (MA-2) and U.S. Representative Jim Costa (CA-21) for meeting with us in person on this important issue. Thanks to our friends at ButcherBox, True Story Foods, Mastodon Farm, Honey Grove Farms and Feathered Acres Farm for using our collective voice to help support both pigs and family farmers.

Last week Niman Ranch hog farmer, Drew Kraft, spoke with the South Dakota Bankers Association about young farmers’ need for working relationships and partnerships with local banks. Along with fellow South Dakota farmers and ranchers, he shared his perspective as an generational independent family farmer raising niche livestock. Ultimately, young and beginning farmers need a chance. On behalf of our community, we thank Drew for advocating for his family and fellow farmer and rancher families across the Midwest.
