This past weekend, our team traveled to Des Moines, Iowa, to join Niman Ranch's 26th Annual Hog Farmers Appreciation Celebration—a special event that honors the independent family farms that have supplied our bacon since 2011. Our Sustainability Specialist, Corey Blumenthal, took the stage at the Education Summit, highlighting Shake Shack’s sustainability initiatives, including our work in regenerative farming—a topic Niman’s farmers know well. We also had the pleasure of treating many of our farmers to their first-ever Shake Shack burger! And most exciting of all, we awarded the first-ever Shake Shack grant for young farmers through Niman Ranch’s Next Generation Foundation, dedicated to supporting regenerative agriculture. The inaugural recipients, Bryanna and Benjamin Harner, were awarded their grant along with a personal letter from our CEO, Rob Lynch. We are thrilled to continue supporting the next generation of farmers committed to sustainable agriculture. Our partnership with Niman Ranch and its network of independent family farms is more than just business—it’s a commitment to fostering a sustainable food system, where farmers and agriculture take center stage in everything we do.
