Next time you’re at Nugget Markets, stop by the bakery and say hi to your store’s artisan baker (tip: they’re easy to spot—they’re the ones covered in flour!). Each of our stores has at least two artisan bakers who have spent a minimum of two weeks of intensive training in their craft, and two more weeks apprenticed to a veteran artisan baker, before they take the reins on their own.
Family run and locally based in Placer County, Vitale makes two incredibly yummy pasta sauces — Tomato Basil and Spicy Crushed Pepper — just like homemade from your grandma’s kitchen. These sauces contain extra-virgin olive oil and are made from tomatoes only grown in California.
At your next holiday party or family gathering, ask if anyone knows where the term Egg Nog came from. Unless you have a “know-it-all” uncle, I would bet that no one will offer an answer.
This local ice cream company from San Francisco opened as a small ice cream parlor in 1976. Since then they have been family run and privately owned. Double Rainbow is made with all-natural ingredients, and they have worked over the last 35 years to develop a full line of super premium ice cream. They pride themselves on using only the best ingredients, and the only preservative used is the refrigerator. During the holidays, Double Rainbow offers their delicious Pumpkin flavor ice cream. This unique flavor is perfect to pair with any pie or as a side to any dessert. • Daniel Williams, Frozen Foods

Our Fresh to Market all-natural, pure, raw and local honey is in stores now! Join us as we take a trip to the farm, for an inside look into the world of a beekeeper.
Bees are downright amazing. They communicate with each other through dance, they evaporate water from honey in their hives by flapping their wings, and they visit more than 2 million blossoms just to create one pound of honey. During a bees quest for nectar, it collects and spreads pollen, playing a critical role in pollinating our local farmlands.
