Meat

Bi-Rite is proud to be a leader in offering sustainable meats and fish for San Francisco. We offer a full selection of meats from providers known for their sustainable, humane techniques.

Bi-Rite has enjoyed a longstanding relationship with Niman Ranch, known nationwide for its humane and sustainable meats. Niman Ranch works with over 500 independent family farmers, all of whom operate under strict standards for humane treatment, all-natural feed, and a natural maturation cycle.

We are one of only two retailers in San Francisco to sell Marin Sun Farms beef products. Marin Sun Farms' beef comes from cattle that are fed grass for their entire lives, and are raised, slaughtered, and processed in the Bay Area. We carry their Cross Rib Roast, Ground sirloin, NY Steaks and Stew meat.

We also carry several pork cuts from Heritage Foods USA. The varieties of pig are very similar to those brought to the New World by Christopher Columbus in 1493. Because they have not been hybridized (like all commercial pork), the meat is incredibly juicy, tender, and flavorful. The pigs are raised, slaughtered, and processed in the Midwest and sent directly to us. We are San Francisco's only retailer of Heritage pork products! At the moment, we carry Heritage Porterhouse Pork Chops.

We are happy to be working with a new company, Sonoma Direct, which provides grass-fed lamb raised in the lush hillsides of the Northern California coast. Sonoma Direct lamb distinguishes itself as grass-fed, humanely raised, family-farmed and as local as you can get!

And we are carrying Devil's Gulch Ranch milk-fed pork! Devil's Gulch raises heritage sows which are pastured with their piglets until the piglets are weaned. The weaned piglets are then fed milk, bread and grains, in a free-range environment, producing what we believe is a fantastic-tasting product.
