Some of you may have heard that we’ve recently established a relationship with a new supplier: BN Ranch.

BN Ranch is Bill Niman’s new fully pastured meat company located in Bolinas, CA.

First, we want to take a moment to extend a sincere “thank you” and much gratitude to our friend, strategic partner and mentor/guide, Jonathan Lewis of Pastoral Plate for facilitating and supporting this amazing connection. Thank you, Jonathan – you are wonderful!

For those of you unfamiliar with the name, Bill Niman was the founder of Niman Ranch. Bill is the visionary and idealist behind the brand that had a tremendous influence on how animals were being raised for food in the US. Bill Niman demanded an ethical, humane, sustainable departure from the cruel, harmful, industrialized food system that was (and continues to be) the industry standard of modern ranching. He is no longer associated with that business, to remain true to his ideals (read more about his departure from Niman Ranch here).

With BN Ranch, Bill has returned to ranching with an uncompromised vision to operate an ethical, environmentally sound ranch while producing truly sustainable, totally pastured & exceptionally high quality meats. From conception/field to table/consumption, every aspect is conducted with the utmost care and concern – I have been utterly impressed thus far with the attention to detail and quality of these products. We’re working closely with Bill on a program to incorporate his meats into our SFRAW branded products (treats & meals) as well as have his products available for sale to our members & customers.

This is a very exciting development for SFRAW! Bill’s experience & expertise in the industry is stellar; and his products reflect his undeniable commitment to quality. Thanks to Jonathan, I had the chance to spend the day at his ranch and home in Bolinas a few weeks ago, and since then, we’ve just started to bring in his products for sale here at SFRAW. He hand-delivered the first batch last week (& we quickly sold out) and today we got our second delivery –  nearly a full pallet of products priced to move quickly this week.

I can tell you, the quality of these products are just absolutely incredible. I’d love to hear feedback on how they work for you & your animals. We’re now using his beef in our Beef & Pumpkin Patties and Beef Jerky and they have been, hands-down, the best batches of these products we’ve made. Be sure to try these treats out with your beef loving dogs and cats! We have plenty in stock and are making more this week.

We are incredibly lucky to have this opportunity to work with a true legend and pioneer in the sustainable meat industry. What he’s doing at BN Ranch in Bolinas is absolutely wonderful. If you feed beef or turkey, you should absolutely try out these meats!
