What makes Marin Fine Foods different from other gourmet services?
Our commitment to high quality, locally sourced ingredients ensures that you will not find better food with any other service.
What’s the difference between grass-fed and grain-finished beef?
Grass-fed beef comes from cattle that eat grass for most of their lives, producing a leaner flavor that reflects pasture diets. Grain-finished beef is raised on grass but switched to a grain diet (often corn) before harvest, which adds more marbling and a richer, buttery taste. Both are high-quality — the choice comes down to whether you prefer lean, earthy flavor or fuller, tender richness.
What does “personal shopper meat service” mean?
A personal shopper meat service means we hand-select premium cuts to your exact preferences, sourcing directly from trusted butchers and suppliers. Unlike standard grocery delivery, it’s a curated, concierge-style experience — saving you time while ensuring you get the freshest, highest-quality meats tailored to your needs.
