Thomas Farms at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Thomas Farms specializes in grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, including beef, lamb, wagyu, venison, and halal-certified goat, with an emphasis on natural, minimally processed proteins.
Thomas Farms isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Organic 85% Lean Grass Fed Ground Beef in Ground Beef.
Pacific Market stocks ground beef thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is ground beef: Pacific Market stocks only 5 there, so Thomas Farms Organic 85% Lean Grass Fed Ground Beef stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 6 categories the brand sells.

The full runway · across 2 stores
Every category Thomas Farms plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
What to bring to land
Thomas Farms’ SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific Market’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Pacific Market profile →
