"Picnics are an important part of our business,
as both of our markets are located next to iconic
parks in San Francisco. And we are always looking
for new crackers, salumi, snacks, and beverages
to keep people's baskets fun and interesting."
—Jenny Rojas Cline, Bi-Rite, San Francisco
"My favorite go-to for an impromptu picnic
meal: all you need is this (Meredith Dairy
Marinated Goat) cheese, a baguette, a bottle
of bubbly wine, and your preferred salad
greens. It's unlike any other you have ever
experienced and completely irresistible."
—Lydia Burns, Pastoral Artisan Cheese, Bread, & Wine, Chicago
