Grass-Fed Beef in Arizona: Where to Buy

Arizona is one of the states where Primal Pastures — a California-based regenerative farm — sources cattle for their grass-fed program, alongside their Southern California operations. Arizona's high desert and mountain grasslands support winter grazing conditions that rival the best in the West. In-store, Sprouts Farmers Market (headquartered in Phoenix) and Whole Foods provide strong statewide coverage, and the Phoenix and Tucson farmers market scenes are well-supplied with local producers.
