We came together because of shared values. We stayed together because we are having a blast working together making a difference in the meat industry. 

Mindful Meats merged with Marin Sun Farms in January 2017. We are thrilled to be working with a wonderful like-minded company. The Mindful Meats program remains the same as day one, and will continue to source organic, non-gmo beef from sustainable organic dairies. The brand and Mindful Meats program will remain the same.

Claire Herminjard, FOUNDER

Claire founded Mindful Meats as a concerned consumer looking for a wholesome beef, locally raised by farmers who take great care of their land and animals. She saw her role as being a connector between those farmers and their local markets, and as working to build a brand that would represent those farmers’ values. Being very passionate about getting organic beef into public schools, she was committed to starting the Public School Lunch Program. Living in Point Reyes California, Claire and her husband manage their land by grazing organic cattle. Claire got her passion for Social Entrepreneurship - using business as a tool for social good - through her experience in the internet services sector in San Francisco and her education in public policy studies at Duke University. She got her passion for great food - and a great burger! - from her long line of good eatin’ family members.
