Local protein options from Harris Ranch, seen here, and Mary's Organic Chicken have been added to the menu at Tachi Palace.

Tachi Palace Casino Resort in Lemoore has announced a new partnership with Harris Ranch and Mary’s Organic Chicken, featuring the Central Valley meat and poultry producers at the resort’s restaurants.

“At Tachi Palace, we pride ourselves on providing the highest quality dining experience, and this starts with offering fresh, local foods,” said Tachi Palace Casino Resort’s General Manager Michael Olujic. “The meats that Harris Ranch and Mary’s Organic Chicken will provide come directly from our region, and we look forward to guests enjoying them at our Coyote Grill and other dining locations throughout the property.”

Harris Ranch beef products and Mary’s Organic Chicken will be exclusively served as primary protein options, according to a spokesperson for the resort.

Specialty items that are not Harris or Mary’s brand will continue to be served to maintain cultural authenticity of certain dishes.

“Harris Ranch Beef is honored to partner with Tachi Palace Casino Resort, where we will provide local California grown beef to their establishment,” said Brian Jauregui, vice president of foodservice sales at Selma-based Harris Ranch. “We are proud of our reputation as a beef industry leader and proud to be in partnership with Tachi Palace Casino Resort.”

Since establishing one of the first branded beef programs in the country in 1982, Harris Ranch has grown to become one of the most recognized beef producers on the West Coast.

Mary’s Organic Chicken in Sanger was founded in 1954. Family owned and operated, the company prioritizes animal welfare and has engaged in humane poultry production, focusing on animal welfare and improving the lives of birds from beginning to end, according to a news release.
