New Leaf Community Markets has been a fixture in Central Coast communities for over 30 years, starting as a small cooperative in 1985 and now operating 5 community-hub grocery stores. Staying true to its progressive roots and good-for-the-community ethos, New Leaf is committed to providing sustainable, locally produced natural and organic food. Customers can find a wide variety of California-grown produce, meat, and seafood, much of it sourced from within 100 miles of the stores. The stores feature a deli, butchers counter, salad and hot food bars, and an olive stand, catering to diverse dietary needs with ample vegan and vegetarian options. Shoppers praise the high-quality, flavorful offerings, from the BLAT sandwich with crispy tempeh bacon to the fresh and tasty Thai cabbage peanut salad. While the prices at New Leaf may be on the higher end, customers are willing to pay for the quality and commitment to sustainability. With a focus on nourishing both the community and the environment, New Leaf continues to be a beloved grocery destination on the Central Coast.
