From March through June, Wilderra spent every Tuesday at the Manhattan Beach Farmers’ Market, serving meatball samples and meeting families as they made their way through their weekly grocery shop.

With a weekday crowd made up largely of local parents and young families, the market gave us a chance to see Wilderra pass an important taste test: the kids. Week after week, little ones came back for bites of our meatballs, showing that beef blended with mushrooms can still be something the whole family gets excited about.

More than a place to discover something new, Manhattan Beach was a market where shoppers were deciding what would actually make it onto the dinner table. That made it an especially meaningful place to introduce Wilderra to families looking for an easy, delicious option for meals at home.
