Meat & Seafood

Free Range, Non-GMO, Wholesome Meat Selections

In our meat department, we very carefully select our suppliers to offer you humanely raised, Non-GMO fed, and free range options. We prefer to work with family farmers and ranchers who care not only about the animals they raise, but also the land they use, and the communities they support. You can easily taste the difference between pork, beef, and chicken that is sustainably raised without antibiotics, growth hormones, or additives. We also offer a variety of marinated meats and homemade sausages great for the barbecue or for a ready to cook meal.

Sustainable Seafood

At Wild Roots Market, we only source sustainable seafood. You won’t find unsustainable “red labeled” fish in our stores, EVER! We work very closely with our suppliers to ensure all of our labels contain everything a customer needs to make an informed choice. We list catch methods, farmed or wild caught, and country of origin. We try to source as much as we can from local fisheries and have partnered with Santa Cruz based suppliers to ensure we provide the freshest fish we can bring to market from the Monterey Bay.
