Nugget Markets’ produce managers and buyers just got back from a fun-filled trip to visit our friends at Full Belly Farm in the Capay Valley. While on our visit, we learned all about the 300-acre farm that has been growing organically for more than 28 years. Fully Belly Farm is family owned and operated, and their tender love and care shows in their delicious products. Dru Rivers, one of the founders of the farm, shared their passion for not only growing food, but also growing farmers. While the concept sounded a bit strange at first, Dru explained that Fully Belly Farm offers an internship to students who are interested in starting their own farms. Full Belly’s internship program has grown more than 100 farmers, resulting in more than 100 new organic farms across our country.
Brooklyn Brew Shop's Beer Making Kits redefine ‘home’ brewing by bringing the brewing process out of the garage and into the kitchen. This kit uses only fresh, whole ingredients and traditional methods used in homes and breweries for centuries. The kit makes 1 gallon of beer (9 to 10-12 ounce bottles), and the second batch only requires new ingredients and packet of sanitizer.
We love hats from San Diego Hat Co.: Fashion duo Andrew Bleecher and Teresa Gardner personally design and source all of their products. Since launching their business in 1993, their fervor for fashion assures the color, style and fabric of all their hats will be on trend and a great addition to your wardrobe! Available at select locations. Our Florin Road and Woodland locations do not carry this line, but hats can be ordered by special request.
We love this IPA and we think Dad will too! Draft Magazine gives it 98 points and says it has, "Bright amber color, massive grapefruit and floral hops, touch of pale malt sweetness, elegant balance, finishes clean and dry." We love it paired with Hot Wings and Blue Cheese.
Bogle Essential Red is finally here! We’re one of the first lucky retailers to receive this gem of a wine! It’s a delicious blend of old vine Zinfandel, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Petite Sirah that’s rich, luscious and juicy. Pick a bottle up for Dad’s day! We suggest pairing it with our recipe for Father’s Day Rib Eye with Gorgonzola Butter!
Pink wine does not always mean sweet wine. It’s getting hot outside, so let the Rosé season begin! Dry Rosés are extremely popular in many famous wine regions, especially in Provence (France), Languedoc (France), Navarra (Spain), throughout Europe, and increasingly here in the US. Dry Rosés can be made from any number of red grape varietals. One of our most popular domestic Rosés is the Match Book Tempranillo Rosé.
This is the perfect wine when you want something other than a white, but a full-bodied red is just too much with the hot weather.
This week we are featuring Rosés from Europe and the US. The good news is that they are all under $10.00. We even have the La Vielle Ferme Rosé from the south of France in a 1.5 LTR bottle (equal to two 750 ml bottles) for under 10.00! These are pink wines that really pair well with a great many dishes. Enjoy these with lighter salads, a fruit plate, or just on their own.
Prices valid June 6, 2012 - June 12, 2012.
Every month we invite our guests to take our price survey challenge and see how our prices stack up against the competition. Carla Henson from West Sacramento did just that, and not only did she save money by shopping at Nugget, but she scored a $1,000 Nugget Markets gift card as well. Congratulations, Carla!
If you’re a sun-loving Californian like me, you must try this amazing product. Whether you're concerned with sunspots or age spots, this product will leave you saying, "WOW, my skin looks great!" The gallic acid and the mulberry bark extract may naturally diminish UV-induced discoloration and age spots. The first time I used this great product I let my skin soak in the benefits for 5-10 minutes and I really saw the results. It's a must have!
