    6/29/24, Ferry farmer's market
    Mike C.

    As part of my Saturday shopping mission, I have the good fortune of finding businesses and foods that I'd normally wouldn't come across. At the Saturday Ferry farmer's market, there have been a number of new stands along the waterside of the south driveway. This week, I noticed this business' stand at the very end with it's display of meats prominent. Without giving thought about my week's menu, I figured I'd do a "sample" purchase in buying two salt and pepper salametti (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=oMbB-8tMHgQ5CHuwKD5n2w&userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q). I gnawed on this in the afternoon like a beef stick. The flavors were nice and it wasn't too oily with a slight funk. I'm saving the other one for a friend, storing it in the fridge for now. I asked the young lady whether their stand was new and she told me they have been in the front section for a while. This location should be better foot traffic wise as this section has more take and go friendly food stands. Thanks to Elise for giving me the 411 and looking forward to getting some deli meat cuts to try next. *** Here's what's next (https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=saJuyv784apZzH--psHZ3Q&select=HQhB-2XMi-lj0TkdEXfOPA).

    5 STARS If you haven't tried Canteen Meats, you need to try it! They have everything made in house and you can tell they really care about quality of their meats. They even source their meats locally! I usually get the bresaola and lomo. It has so much flavor and the quality is unbelievable. I love that they even sell hand soap with byproducts. They also sell other products from local vendors which is amazing. Thank you for John for the amazing experience and customer service!

    Lamb salami 50% off in the misfits bin. Can't even tell what was imperfect.

The jerky was truly the highlight. The employee let us try all of the jerky samples (generous portions) we wanted, and talked about what kinds of flavors and textures would be best for our tastes. My favorites were the teriyaki turkey jerky and garlic beef jerky. Both varieties have a sweet, tender chew. No dried out jerky here. Make sure to check out the grab and go refrigerators opposite of the cash register. I made sure to grab a bag of smoked bacon ends/chunks which made an absolutely divine addition to my cherry tomato and Marin French Cheese angel hair pasta a few nights later.

If you get the chance to meet him, you'll understand why people talk about him like he's an icon. And the food... wow. The jerky is absolutely to die for. He even told us to stop back by before we headed home because he was making homemade focaccia. We came back, and he wasn't there, but he had the focaccia waiting for us anyway. That small gesture says everything about the kind of person he is. We left with jerky, his amazing garlic horseradish mustard, and summer sausage, and we already can't wait to come back. Next stop will definitely be his deli. Angelo is the real deal, kind, thoughtful, and unforgettable.

Everything was fresh, the turkey was piled on, and the combination of the pepperoni, crunchy pickles, and tangy pepperoncini was perfect. The sandwich was huge, filling, and put together so well -- definitely not skimpy on the ingredients! This might officially be my new go-to sandwich from Sprouts. Seriously, whoever made this Sammie deserves some recognition because they understood the assignment. 10/10, I'll absolutely be getting it again!

    Loved the store overall, but my deli sandwich was just okay…read more This store was clean, well-lit, and well-stocked. I had already been thinking about buying a sandwich, and when I noticed several employees actively cleaning a deli that already looked pretty clean to me, I was convinced. I ordered the build-your-own sandwich, which starts at $4.99. I love deli sandwiches, and have ordered so many from so many different locations across California over the past decade, I'm pretty sure I could write a book at this point.. Sprouts is usually a great place to get a sandwich for lunch. Most of my experiences at other Sprouts locations have been great. I filled out the sandwich form (which was returned to me with my sandwich, as evidence lol) with the following: sourdough bread, ham, bacon, swiss, avocado, dressing, all the veggies except lettuce. If the bread was sourdough, it was the whitest sourdough bread I've ever had in my life. It resembled white bread in every way, shape, and form. I received exactly one strip of hardly detectable bacon. All of the veggies were in such small quantities that I thought a bunch of ingredients were missing at first. The sandwich was honestly mostly marinated peppers. I didn't receive any avocado, but felt like, overall, the sandwich was okay enough for $7.99. But I would not order from this same sandwich maker again (although he was nice enough), because he wasn't very good at it.

    We have been happy CSA members of Tara Firma Farms for 3+ years now and highly recommend for anyone…read morelooking for a local, sustainable farm co-op! The eggs are wonderful, delivery prompt, online store very accessible, and they conveniently partner with other local farms to provide veggies + fruit in addition to their sustainable meats (most CSAs will only provide one or the other). We came across Tara Firma initially via online / yelp searches shortly after moving to the Bay Area in 2016. When my husband and I initially started looking into vegetarianism for animal welfare reasons, I suggested we visit a farm that employs best practices of ethically and sustainably raised meat to help inform our decision. Tara Firma offers free educational tours every weekend and so we drove up one day with our 2 dogs (leashed dogs welcome!) and another family with their 3 (non furry) children for a fun Petaluma outing. The tour was informative and our guide was clearly super passionate about their mission. The farm was very beautiful and the lands idyllic -- we loved the fact that the cows were so free range that we could just barely make them out as a tiny dot in the distant hills. We all enjoyed observing the chicken dynamics around their mobile coop with their rooster guard, and they showed us how unperturbed the hens were when removing the eggs from the nest-- evening letting the children carefully take a couple out. Ultimately, we decided to pursue a vegetarian diet (especially after my husband met the pigs there), but we joined the CSA for their eggs and veggie share + cheeses (sourced from partner farms). We also have purchased meat occasionally for visiting carnivore families and friends, as we wanted to ensure if they were going to eat meat -- they were getting it from a farm like Tara Firma that does it in the right way. The best part of the CSA was their pet share as we realized buying offal from this farm would be a great compromise for our dogs (who were rebelling against our plant-based diet experiment) as we just wanted to provide our dogs protein with leftovers / byproduct without creating additional demand on the meat industry. Our pet share included amazing proteins like heart, tongue, cheeks, as well as more indulgent items like liver and kidney. Even the trotters and bones I would use to make broth in order to flavor / disguise our dogs' vegetarian kibble haha :) We also occasionally received some freezer burn meats, which cannot be sold for human consumption but safe (and very drool-worthy) for our dogs! Unfortunately, the pet share program has been discontinued but there are still plenty of diverse offal options in the farm store! Overall, a great local farm to support and highly recommend a visit!

    OK, so I totally fell for the high pressure sales pitch as well. I had just come back from a 45…read moremile bike ride and was hungry and tired - nuff said. On the other hand I have to say my experience with the meat was actually very good. If you follow the cooking instructions for grass-fed beef, the meat comes out tender, juicy and quite delicious. Here's what I did: 1) Defrost the meat in the fridge over night; 2) let it come up to room temperature at least an hour or more prior to cooking. 3) Tenderize 4) marinate in a little bit of olive oil 5) salt and pepper just before cooking 6) cook over no more than medium heat in a little more olive oil and a dash of butter for browning, no more than 3 minutes per side for the smaller pieces, up to 5 minutes per side for the thick ones. 7) remove from pan (I used a Dutch oven) and cover for about 10 minutes, 8) meanwhile in the pan deglaze with a mixture of low salt soy sauce, a little red wine and a dash of balsamic. Serve with the sauce and some roasted Brussels sprouts or sliced and sautéed turnips and enjoy... I would give them 5 stars if it weren't for the used car sales pitch...

    This is a scam…read more They sell food-service quality meat at astronomically inflated prices. The sales woman had lots of great lines. She told us they were in the neighborhood making a delivery for our neighbor, and wanted to get rid of the last of their dry aged grass-fed premium steaks before they drive back to Sonoma. All lies. I noticed later it says right on the box: "grain fed". We got suckered for $40 worth, and I'm very thankful that's all we lost. She was trying to sell us $400 worth at first. It's hard to judge the quality of frozen vacuum wrapped steak. After defrosting, there was no marbling, the steaks were not trimmed, and one was folded in half before freezing, so it looked good, but defrosted it was 1/4 inch thick. The steaks I've tried so far have been badly oxidized, meaning the meat is grayish brown on the outside. (see photo). The meat is edible, but only barely, on par with flank steak from a school cafeteria, airplane food, or hospital food.
