2018 Niman Ranch Scholarship
20th Anniversary Hog Farmer Appreciation Weekend
September 7-9, 2018
The Chefs Collaborative & Niman Ranch Scholarship is a rare opportunity to attend an exclusive, invite-only farmer celebration with fellow Chefs Collaborative Members, farmers, and food professionals who are committed to responsibly-raised meat. In addition to being a special weekend with like-minded colleagues, previous Scholarship recipients share that this experience has helped them Change Menus, Change Lives.
Congratulations to our Chefs Collaborative and Niman Ranch Scholars: Adam Hegsted (Eat Good Group, WA), Daniel Muggli (Bon Appetit at Google Seattle, WA), Sonya Yelder (Smith College Dining Services, MA)!
These chefs traveled to Elliot, Iowa from September 7-9, 2018 for an event filled weekend including:
- Delicious Niman Ranch pork, beef and lamb
- A farm tour and pig roast at A Frame Acres to network and learn about responsible animal husbandry
- Renowned speakers discussing trends, taste and Rural America
- A special multi-course dinner celebrating Niman Ranch hog farmers
