| - What is Natural?
Sunflower Market is a refreshing change from the generic drag of most supermarkets. The store is laid out much like a market would be, with islands of produce, a fish monger and butcher, and only a few aisles. It is a relaxing layout compared to Smiths and Albertsons.
As far as the quality of produce and meats here, it is generally better than Smiths and Albertsons, and competetively priced. Whole Foods has the best ( ) fill in the blank, but the prices also reflect this.
Sunflower Market boasts that they carry "Natural" meats. I find this term to be entirely ambiguous. What does natural mean? Is the meat still intensively farmed? How were the animals treated? When I asked the butcher, he had little answers for me. I will say it generally looks better than what you may find elsewhere, but I'm not sold its better quality.
Good place to stop in for delicious bulk goods, fresh produce, and inexpensive wine. If you're looking for some very specific protein (grass fed organic beef, Bone-in Chicken Breasts, etc..) go elsewhere. Otherwise this is a great spot to add some variety to your weekly menu.
