Fruitvale · Est. 1985

Oakland deserves a butcher who treats every cut like a conversation.

We source from local ranches and age our own beef in-house, because the best meat doesn't need a sales pitch—it just needs the right knife.

Interior of Wayland's Meat Market

Wayland's Meat Market has been a fixture on Fruitvale Avenue for over three decades. We started as a small family counter and grew into Oakland's trusted source for heritage-breed meats and artisanal cheeses.

Our approach is simple: buy from farmers you know, age meat until it's perfect, and never sell anything we wouldn't serve our own families. That's why you'll see fewer options on our case than the big boxes—but every single one is exceptional.

  • Locally sourced from Bay Area ranches
  • In-house dry-aging program
  • Custom curing and charcuterie
