"I am incredibly humbled and honored to be included on this list along with such impressive leaders," shared Elle in response to the recognition. "Growing up on a farm, supporting fellow small family farmers and sustainable agriculture has always been core to who I am. I am so thankful I am able to spend my days helping farming and ranching families, like mine, in the Niman Ranch network and beyond."
Elle grew up on her family's diversified farm in eastern Iowa raising livestock, including Niman Ranch pigs, and will be the fifth generation in her family to farm in the Midwest. Elle serves in the unique position of farmer advocate at Niman Ranch, charged with providing support, education and community building among the brand's network of hundreds of small to mid-size, independent family farms and ranches across the country. All Niman Ranch farms are Certified Humane® and committed to raising livestock without antibiotics, hormones or crates.
"Since its establishment with the company's founding farmers, Niman Ranch has built a model that ensures small, sustainable farmers have a market in a rapidly changing food system," said Chris Oliviero, general manager of Niman Ranch. "Elle has taken the baton, providing a central hub and company voice for our farmer and rancher network, understanding firsthand the challenges farmers and rural communities face in today's agriculture climate."
While the average age of farmers in the U.S. is nearly 60, Niman Ranch's average farmer age is 43 years old. This is credited to the opportunities and support the company, many led by Elle, provide for beginning farmers. Since joining the Niman Ranch team in 2018, Elle has been a key leader in several impactful farmer support programs including a farmer mentor program that matches beginning farmers with more seasoned producers as well as a new grant program to help young farmers improve their operations and adopt regenerative practices.
Elle graduated from Wartburg College in Waverly, Iowa with majors in environmental science and business administration. Throughout college, Elle was a Niman Ranch Next Generation Foundation scholarship recipient, including being awarded the first Phyllis Willis Pioneer Award in 2017, recognizing her passion for sustainability. In addition to her role as farmer advocate, Elle serves as secretary for the Niman Ranch Next Generation Foundation and regularly travels back home to Iowa to help on the family farm.
