Since 1976, BriarPatch Food Co-op has been a beloved community institution in the Sierra Nevada foothills, with two locations serving Grass Valley and Auburn. Collectively owned by the folks who shop here, BriarPatch is committed to sourcing local, organic, and sustainable goods — with a genuine warmth that makes it feel like your neighborhood store, even if you're just passing through.
The produce department is 99% organically grown, sourced closely from local farmers and reflecting whatever is freshest each season. The meat and seafood counter focuses on regeneratively raised meats, non-GMO verified poultry, and sustainably sourced fish and seafood — all free of antibiotics and artificial growth hormones. The bulk section carries nuts, grains, honey, and pantry staples, and the store is well-stocked with world foods and specialty items alongside everyday organic groceries and natural supplements.
