From Ranch to Pit: Why We Partnered with Niman Ranch

At 2fifty, we believe flavor starts long before the fire hits the meat. It begins in the soil, in the way animals are raised, in the hands of the people who care for them. That’s why we partnered with Niman Ranch. Because good meat is never an accident.

A Choice with Purpose

Everything slow, everything with care. But that care doesn’t begin at the smoker. It starts with the meat we choose.

That’s how we found Niman Ranch. They raise livestock the right way no hormones, no antibiotics, and only on independent family farms where animals are treated with dignity. It’s meat raised with ethics and intention. That’s what we want in our brisket. And now, in our pork ribs too.

Meat That Honors the Fire

You can tell right away when a cut comes from the right place. The way it trims. The way it takes smoke. The way it sizzles as the fat starts to render.

Niman Ranch pork has the structure, flavor, and balance that loves post oak heat. It lets us craft a deeper bark, a juicier bite, and a rib that tells you exactly how it was raised slow, honest, and with respect.

More Than a Product Shared Values

Niman Ranch works with over 600 independent family farms. Their model is built on trust, sustainability, and quality not volume. That resonates with us.

From the Smokehouse:

“We’re proud to have secured this partnership after four years of pursuit. We’ll be sharing more on social and the blog just like we’ve done with our beef.”

Served with pride. Cooked with purpose.

All wood. All good.
