Prepared Foods Department
We pride ourselves in having a team of highly trained professional chefs,
making REAL food without anything artificial, in every one our stores. No matter what you order from our
holiday menu, you can rest assured that it is made with passion and integrity by highly skilled chefs.
You won't believe the generous portions we provide with each dish! Our
customers tell us that they always know they'll have plenty of delicious leftovers to enjoy after the holiday
feast.
Our customers tell us that nothing elicits more excitement than showing
up to a party with a Whole Foods Market holiday meal box. We're proud that our food is so good that people
get excited just seeing the box!
When we say dinner package we mean it! We're one of the only grocery
stores to provide a full meal in our dinner packages - including rolls AND dessert.
We make heating and cooking our holiday foods a breeze. Every item comes
in microwave- and oven-friendly dishes. Just pop it in the oven and enjoy your holiday.

Meat Department
We take great pride in the relationships we have with our ranchers. We
know that these relationships are a direct correlation to our high quality
products. No other grocery store has the one-on-one relationships like
ours.
We visit their ranches often, and encourage the ranchers to do visit our
stores. We know that the more we understand their business, and vice
versa, the more we can work together to bring our customers the highest
quality meat imaginable.
You can taste the difference in our meat. When we say high quality, we
absolutely mean it.
We worked hard to bring our customers a local, organic Cornish game hen.
We worked very closely with Field to Family to create these local, organic
hens to ensure they meet our quality standards and offer them to our
customers.
We ensure nothing but the best meats for our customers - throughout the
holidays and every day.

Bakery Department
Not a single product in our bakery has trans fat or hydrogenated oils,
ever. Example: many of our competitors use trans fats in their pie crust,
we use real butter in our crust.
Compare our labels to our competitors' labels. Our labels are short, just
the essentials. Our competitors labels are a mile long, chock full of
useless, artificial ingredients.
All our products are made using unbleached flour. Bleached flour, many
times used by our competitors, goes through a chemical process to make it
white. Why use unnecessary chemicals?
We work with the finest local artisan bakers, These companies closely model our strict quality
standards, even delivering their goods every single morning. Now that's
service!
For the first time, we're offering sugar free blueberry pie. This product
is delicious and very hard to find!
We just finished the final recipe for our Buche de Noel, or Yule Log Cake:
chocolate chiffon, rolled with hazelnut buttercream rolled and poured over
chocolate granache. Meringue mushrooms, cranberries and greenery - custom
decorated - cover the top. This is festive, delicious, memorable holiday
centerpiece.

Seafood Department
When you buy seafood at Whole Foods Market, you are buying the freshest,
highest quality, sustainable product available, from friendly,
knowledgeable and passionate people, our team members.
As a shopper, you have the power to turn the tide, so to speak. When you
purchase seafood from fisheries using ocean-friendly methods, such as we
do at Whole Foods Market, you reward their actions and encourage other
fisheries to operate responsibly.
All of our shrimp is free of any additives, including, but not limited to,
sodium bisulfate and sodium tri-polyphosphate. Not many other seafood
sellers can make this claim.
We have full traceability of our salmon. We know where it comes from, how
it was raised and what it was fed. It's sourced from farmer partners who
follow our quality standards for farm-raised salmon to ensure they can
sell in our stores. The salmon are fed natural ingredients free of
antibiotics, hormones, melamine and parasiticides. They're raised in
third-party-audited ocean pens that preserve the marine ecosystems.
Out of thousands of salmon farms, Whole Foods Market has only found three
that meet our strict quality standards and thus, only three we can source
from; that's how strict our standards are!!
We are a 100% full service seafood market to make shopping easier and more
enjoyable for our customers. We will crack and clean crab for free,
fillet, skin or cut any style you want. Many other stores either won't do
these services or charge you a fee, our experienced seafood teams do it
free of charge!

Produce Department
Every great meal starts with great produce. We work tirelessly to carry the largest selection of high-quality organic produce in the nation.
We take great measures to ensure the integrity of every produce item we sell, working very closely with our local farmers and third-party organizations to learn their business practices and gain a firmer understanding of what they do.
We thoroughly review every delivery of produce daily to ensure everything is of the highest quality with no spoilage.
We can tell you who your farmer is!
