As smoke continues to fill the sky, wildfires continue to burn across Northern California, putting our families, friends and neighbors at risk. To help support those most affected by the fires, Nugget Markets has launched a $10,000 matching fund drive at the check stands across all our stores. All donated funds will benefit the American Red Cross' efforts to support community members in Northern California that have been displaced or lost their homes due to the current wildfires.
From early summer to fall, you can find California-grown pears at your local Nugget Markets. Many Golden State growers are fourth and fifth generation farmers along the Sacramento River Delta and up north in Mendocino and Lake County, some with trees over 100 years old still producing fruit to this day! The cooling nighttime temperatures in the Delta’s lowland levees along the river and orchard-lined hills of Mendocino are the perfect climate to make the perfect pear.
