At Main Market, our passion is food — high quality and great taste. We feature choices from trusted, local, sustainable farmers, ranchers and fisherman. We make certain that all Main Market products meet or exceed our expectations, so our customers can depend on us to meet theirs.

Building Community at the Table

We encourage our population to eat lower on the food chain and source our products accordingly. Main Market Co-op commits to offering products that are fresh, wholesome and grown the way nature intended, sourced as locally as possible. Free of hormones, high fructose corn syrup and toxic chemicals.

Main Market quality standards by department

Produce
Fresh, local, seasonal

Main Market Co-op maintains close relationships with local and regional farmers to provide the best-tasting, freshest produce possible. We look first to regional and organic fruits and vegetables. Our selection will reflect the best of each season, and will be enhanced by the items grown on our very own rooftop.

Meat and poultry
Pastured, free-range, humane

Main Market offers only natural or organic meat products sourced directly from ranchers who are committed to humane standards. Animal welfare is ensured with wholesome feed and water, an environment that allows natural behaviors, and transport and slaughter practices that minimize stress, fear and discomfort.

Seafood
Delicious Ocean & freshwater choices, healthy water ways

The seafood options sold by Main Market are approved choices for wild, aquaculture harvest. We prioritize selections certified by the Marine Stewardship Council, and partner with organizations like Save Our Wild Salmon and the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch Program to stay current on issues facing our seafood supply.

Grocery Sustainable, diverse, affordable

Main Market grocery buyers prioritize organic, local grocery items packaged in an environmentally responsible way. This includes products with labels stating they are not genetically modified and not irradiated. We select even packaged products that receive the least processing possible, to retain original flavor and nutrition. Our bulk section means you can purchase just the amount you need, an economical way to shop.

Eggs and Dairy
Fresh, local, safe

Main Market sells eggs from hens that are raised cage-free on family-owned farms that prioritize healthy feed and humane treatment. As a natural foods retailer Main Market Co-op purchases dairy products – including fresh milk, yogurt, butter, sour cream, cheese, ice cream – produced without the use of artificial growth hormones to increase milk production.

Take-Away Freshest taste, finest ingredients

Main Market Take-Away includes fresh daily salads, soups and baked goods. The season’s best vegetables and meats are showcased here, including produce from our own roof. No need for artificial flavorings or preservatives, as all selections are made either in-house or by one of our excellent local partners.

Wine and Beer Hand picked, superb body

Main Market carries wine and brews made in Washington state and Northern Idaho. Our buyers prioritize independent producers who put integrity and quality before the bottom line. We maintain close relationships with local vintners and breweries, to offer a wide range of choices for any budget or occasion.

Personal and Home Care Naturally safe and soothing

While Main Market focuses on healthy, delicious food, we recognize there are other necessities. Because our space is small for these products, we make very deliberate choices. What we put on our bodies and in our environment are as important as what we eat.

Pet Products
