Organic practices also help promote biodiversity, encourage land stewardship, and require that animals are raised using humane methods.

Wild Caught or Wild Crafted

Wild-Caught seafood is caught from a natural habitat – a lake, river, or ocean – as opposed to farm-raised seafood.

Wildcrafting is the practice of harvesting plants from their natural habitat for food, medicine, or other uses. City Market’s wildcrafters are a small group of individuals, many of whom we have worked with for years. Before taking on new wildcrafters, we work to ensure that their knowledge, practices and goals align with our values: quality, safety and sustainability. All the wildcrafters we work with sign a wildcrafter’s sustainability pledge attesting to their commitment to ethical harvesting.

Look for the blue bar to denote wild-caught or wildcrafted products.
