Diestel Ranch Organic Turkey
The Diestel Family Ranch is located approximately 2.5
hours east of San Francisco in Sonora in the picturesque Sierra
Nevada Foothills. Since 1949 the Diestel Family has continued
the tradition of naturally raising range grown turkeys and work as
one of the last small family owned turkey grower-processors in the
United States.
Diestel turkeys enjoy the freedom to roam the
clean Sierra Nevada Foothills and are given extra time
to grow and develop flavor naturally - an extra two months with no
growth stimulants, hormones and absolutely no animal
by-products. Diestel turkeys are fed a wholesome, low
fat, all-American 100% vegetarian diet of US (no imports) corn and
soybeans milled on the ranch.

of Chez Panisse and Oliveto. Paul brings his passion for
handcrafted food to his latest project. He handcrafts sausage
and salumi in the finest pastoral Italian tradition from the
highest-quality pork, raised with no antibiotics and 100%
vegetarian feeds.
Mary’s Free Range Chickens
Mary's Free-Range Chickens are produced by Pitman Farms, a
family owned business that has been raising poultry for three
generations. The chickens grow naturally with plenty of open space
on a ranch in California and are raised in a humane manner by
allowing them to roam in a stress-free environment that is four
times the size of the average commercial ranch. Because of cleaner
living quarters, a healthier and happier chicken is produced having
a better taste.
Niman Ranch
Niman Ranch began in the early 1970s on an eleven acre ranch in
a small coastal town just north of San Francisco. The cattle were
raised using traditional, humane husbandry methods and given
wholesome all-natural feeds. In 1995, Niman Ranch was introduced to
Paul Willis, of Thornton Iowa. Paul was working to revitalize
sustainable hog farming methods in the Midwest and his commitment
to raising hogs in a humane, old-fashioned way matched Niman
Ranch's principles. Niman Ranch was now able to proudly offer beef,
pork and lamb.
Snake River Farms
Snake River Farms ("SRF") is a family-owned business based
in Boise, Idaho, which began over a decade ago with a small herd of
Wagyu cattle from the Kobe region of Japan. The Wagyu bulls were
crossed with premium American Black Angus to form a proprietary
herd that has developed into one of the finest groups of
Wagyu/Angus cross cattle in the U.S. Often referred to as American
Kobe Beef, this unique breed was bred specifically to deliver the
finest eating quality. Every step in the production process is
strictly controlled to ensure that this level of distinction is
achieved. SRF also produces American Kurobuta Pork, 100% pure
all-natural Berkshire pork, raised by a small network of family
farmers dedicated to delivering only the best. It is the finest
pork available.
