New Seasons Market

Local means fresh and fresh means flavor. We’re committed to working directly with our Home Grown ranchers like Country Natural Beef, Diestel Family Turkey Ranch, Pacific Village Chicken, Pacific Village Beef, Pacific Village Buffalo, Pacific Village Pork and Umpqua Valley Lamb. This means you have only the freshest, best-tasting local meat.

This commitment also means you never have to worry about the quality of the meat you’re buying – all of our fresh meat products are vegetarian fed and grown without the use of sub-therapeutic antibiotics or growth hormones.

When you buy Home Grown not only do you know where your meat comes from, but you can rest assured that our ranchers know what's in their animals' feed and so do we. As we’ve seen in recen t months, it’s critical to understand the entire process of our food production cycle – from farm to plate.

Our Pacific Village Pork ranchers feed their hogs an all-vegetarian diet free of subtherapeutic antibiotics. Umpqua Valley Lamb ranchers Kathy Panner and Leonard Gondek raise their sheep on fresh Oregon pasture grass. Our Pacific Village Beef is entirely grass fed.

Taste the difference that comes with fresh Home Grown meats. This is how meat was meant to be.

Meet Your Home Grown Ranchers

Country Natural Beef - Brothers, Oregon

Doc and Connie Hatfield of Country Natural Beef are two of the ranchers who provide us with our antibiotic- and hormone-free, sustainably grown beef. The Hatfields and other families in the cooperative have teamed up with various environmental organizations to put together a series of “Grazewell Principles” for sustainable ranching and are certified sustainable by Food Alliance, a national certifying agency based in Portland.

Diestel Family Turkey Ranch - Northern California

Diestel turkeys have the freedom to roam the Sierra Foothills and are fed a low fat vegetarian diet of corn and soybeans milled right at the ranch. This means no animal byproducts, growth stimulants, or hormones are fed to their turkeys. Turkeys are also given a longer than average time to develop, making sure they develop flavor naturally.

Pacific Village Beef - Oregon

Kathy Panner and Leonard Gondek consider themselves not just ranchers, but also environmentalists and stewards of the land. Their grass-fed beef operation supplies our Pacific Village label and is certified sustainable by Food Alliance, a national certifying organization with headquarters in Portland. Kathy and Leonard's annual reviews from the organization consistently say their ranch is a model for other sustainable operations. Pacific Village Beef

Pacific Village Chicken - Northern California

Third generation farmer Andrew Carlson raises all of our free-range, vegetarian-fed, antibiotic-free chickens for our private Pacific Village label. Pacific Village Chicken

Pacific Village Pork - Oregon

Our Pacific Village Pork producers grow their pork without antibiotics and with strictly vegetarian feed. Each takes pride in their level of involvement with their animals and know everything about how their pork is produced, from the first days of the piglet to the final delivery to our stores.

Umpqua Valley Lamb - Riddle, Oregon

Our relationship with Umpqua Valley Lamb ranchers and their lambs just keeps growing. From the minute New Seasons Market opened the doors at our first store, Umpqua Valley Lamb has been the lamb behind our meat counters. Ranchers from Umpqua Valley Lamb spend two weekends a year in our stores, sampling their products and educating customers and staff about their practices and the production of antibiotic-free, grass-fed, natural lamb.
