Niman Ranch Expands into Puerto Rico

Taps New Partner Provimi de Puerto Rico for Distribution

ALAMEDA, Calif.--()--Niman Ranch, the leader in humanely and sustainably raised pork, beef and lamb, announces today that it has partnered with Provimi de Puerto Rico, headquartered in Vega Baja, Puerto Rico, to distribute its full product line of antibiotic and hormone-free fresh and prepared meat throughout Puerto Rico and other Caribbean islands.

“Our partnership with Provimi de Puerto Rico is consistent with the way we run our business,” stated Jeff Tripician, Niman Ranch executive vice president and chief marketing officer. “We work with family owned and operated distributors throughout the U.S. and Caribbean, as the leaders in Puerto Rico, Provimi will provide significant focus in all channels of business. Its sales team shares our values and integrity while being committed to expanding Niman Ranch in their region.”

Niman Ranch was founded 40 years ago on the belief that raising livestock according to traditional agriculture practices was better for the land, the animals and the farmers. Niman Ranch developed strict protocols which consistently deliver the finest tasting pork, beef and lamb. The protocols require that the livestock are never-ever treated or administered antibiotics or hormones and are raised outdoors or in deeply bedded pens, where they are able to express their natural instinctive behaviors, like rooting and roaming. Niman Ranch works with more than 700 independent family farmers and ranchers who are paid a premium to raise livestock the traditional humane way.

“We are honored to be selected as the distributor for the Puerto Rico market of the best all-natural meat program available. Our team will work hard to represent all the small independent family farmers and ranchers in the Niman Ranch community,” stated Eliott Reyes Jr., President of Provimi.

Provimi was founded in 1970 by a dairy farmer, Eliott Reyes Sr. and has continued to evolve to become the leader in Puerto Rico of premium meats and specialty foods. Provimi will now be capable of serving the top chefs and grocery stores on the island with products from Niman Ranch, the leader in all-natural meats.

Niman Ranch product is available for delivery, contact Provimi by phone at 787-858-1921 or email at sales@provimipr.com to place an order.

Niman Ranch is a community of more than 700 sustainable, independent family farmers and ranchers who raise livestock traditionally, humanely and sustainably to deliver the finest-tasting proteins. Niman Ranch’s independent family farmers practice the highest standards of animal husbandry and environmental stewardship. Niman Ranch’s fresh, smoked and prepared meats are available at fine restaurants and select grocery stores throughout the U.S. and Caribbean.
