About

In Hawaiian, “pono” means “to do things the right way.” For Chef Makani of Pono Burger, that translates to fresh, never frozen organic beef from pasture raised, grass-fed cows; organic ingredients from local farmer’s markets; and fresh cut organic French fries that are not only good for you, but are good for the planet. “I wouldn’t feed our guests anything I wouldn’t feed my family. So eat better, feel better and live better, because at Pono, we do it the right way!”

“What we take into our bodies becomes part of us, that’s why we source our ingredients from small, California family farms and ranches that care deeply about the quality of their products and the global impacts of their methods. First you taste the difference, then you feel the difference.” That’s Pono Burger!

Our Farmers & Ranchers

We bring you the highest quality organic beef and ingredients available. We use traceable products from California artisans and organic farmers and ranchers including:

EEL RIVER

EEL RIVER CERTIFIED ORGANIC GRASS-FED BEEF

We source our beef from family-owned ranch Eel River in Humboldt County, CA where cattle graze on lush, green pastures and are raised without hormones or antibiotics, resulting in beef with superior flavor and health attributes. Our organic, California, grass-fed beef is never frozen.

STRAUS FAMILY CREAMERY

In 1941, Bill Straus began raising twenty-three dairy cows in the tiny town of Marshall, CA along the shores of Tomales Bay. The family converted the dairy to organic in 1994 and founded Straus Family Creamery - the first 100% certified organic creamery in the United States. Pono Burger's house made milkshakes are crafted using the sustainably-made, minimally-processed dairy products from this same organic creamery that continues to promote environmental stewardship in the mild, coastal climate of West Marin County.
