2. Niman Ranch | Family Farming
Niman Ranch is a committed
supporter of family farming. Niman
supports a network of over 700
family farms throughout the United
States. Some of these farms are

part of the Niman Ranch network
for two generations or more. Niman
sees family farmers.
Niman Ranch defines a family
farm as one that is owned and
operated by the same family.

their animals and crops, and
their sustainable farming
practices.
