🧡🌼 Meet Rancho Coyote Viejo, a demonstration farm in Paicines, San Benito County, where we're now sourcing our marigolds !

More than a growing space, Rancho Coyote Viejo is a hands-on learning environment where farmers can explore new practices, experiment with crops, share knowledge, and build skills together. It's part of the work of , an organization dedicated to strengthening networks and creating opportunities for Latine farmers, food workers, and agricultural professionals.

Our connection to the farm is through Josefina, Regeneration's founder and executive director, whose work helps local farms navigate the challenges of getting their products to market. We're grateful for the opportunity to support her work and build a new relationship with the people growing these beautiful blooms.

The timing feels especially meaningful as we celebrate Día de los Mu***os. Known as cempasúchil, marigolds are an important part of this tradition. Their vibrant orange petals and distinct fragrance are believed to guide the spirits of loved ones back home, creating a welcoming path to family altars and graves.

This Día de los Mu***os, we're celebrating the flowers, the growers, and the traditions that connect us. 🧡

PUMPKIN. PUMPKIN. PUMPKIN. 🎃🍦

Two pumpkin flavors? We’re listening. 👀 With a dairy-free option and one that’s reminiscent of fall desserts, there’s a little pumpkin something for everyone!

🎃 Pumpkin Spice: Roasted pumpkin purée, warm pie spices, and rich coconut cream make this dairy-free scoop a fall favorite.

🍰 Pumpkin Cheesecake: Pumpkin cheesecake ice cream meets warm fall spices and housemade graham cracker pieces. Basically, pumpkin pie à la mode, all in one scoop.

Two ways to pumpkin. Which one are you scooping first? 😉

Some Bi-Rite stories span generations. ❤️

Antonio joined Bi-Rite in December 2007 as a dishwasher at 18th St. Nearly 19 years later, he still enjoys his work at Bi-Rite Market and couldn’t imagine himself anywhere else. Now our Butcher Department Manager at Polk St., he’s one of the many team members who have helped shape Bi-Rite along the way.

Food has always been a big part of Antonio's life. Growing up in Honduras, his mom cooked for their community, and Antonio helped her sell tamales on the school bus. Today, he says, “I love working with food,” and his passion for it has taken him from the dish pit to the butcher department, where he now enjoys sharing what he's learned.

Now, Antonio gets to share his experience a little closer to home: his son, Jefferson, joined the Bi-Rite team three months ago as a dishwasher at 18th St., and he's already excited to grow within the company. Did you know that Bi-Rite hires about 90% of manager positions from within?!

“I am really happy that my kid has the potential to go up and learn.”

This National Food Service Workers Day, we're celebrating Antonio and the rest of our amazing staff who bring their skills, stories, and passion for food to Bi-Rite every day. We’re grateful to have each and every one of them on our teams, from our Markets to our ice cream scoopers to our chefs in the commissary kitchen.

If you see Antonio at Polk Street, ask him about his favorite way to cook skirt steak. He’ll be happy to share his tips with you! 😉

You may think of pumpkin spice as basic, but we beg to differ 🎃🍦

Especially when it comes with pumpkin cheesecake ice cream, housemade graham crackers, and warm fall spices.

A seasonal favorite is back: Pumpkin Cheesecake with Graham Crackers. Consider this your official invitation to embrace your pumpkin spice era. 🍂

Pumpkin season is officially here. We’ll see you at the Creamery. 👀

Dear Salted Caramel,

Where do we even begin? 💌

You’ve been with us since day one, and somehow, 20 years later, we’re still falling for you every day. It’s no wonder you are so popular, with that creamy caramel richness and that perfect hit of sea salt. It’s honestly embarrassing how much we love you. 🍦

You’ve seen us through two decades of scoops, celebrations, and countless happy customers. We hope you know just how special you are to us.

Forever yours,
Bi-Rite Creamery 🩷

Our newest sundae is bananas! Or shall we say, Coco Bananas 😋🍌

Meet Coco Bananas, the winner of our guest sundae contest, inspired by the creator’s favorite banana and coconut cake recipes. After a very delicious round of judging by our pastry chef team, Coco Bananas came out on top! Three scoops of Roasted Banana get topped with toasted coconut, whipped cream, Marcona almonds, and of course, caramelized banana.

Coconut + banana = a pretty a-peel-ing combination, if you ask us. 🥥🍌

We loved seeing all your sundae creations and getting to turn one of them into the real thing. Come by the Creamery and give Coco Bananas a try!
