California Dreamin’
All the fruit is grown
And the cheese is made,
In our Golden State
On a summer’s day.
Just add a glass of wine,
And we’ll eat some today.
California dreamin’
On such a summer’s day!

Local Love: Nicasio Valley Cheese
As a locally owned and operated grocer, Nugget Markets takes great pride in offering our guests top-quality products from local farms and producers. One of our favorite cheese producers is Nicasio Valley Cheese Company, an organic farmstead cheesemaker from the hills of Marin County in California. Their award-winning organic artisan cheeses range from their creamy brie and made-to-melt Raclette to their washed rind wonder, Square, and famous Foggy Morning. With a touch of fruit and some charcuterie, you’ve got lunch or a snack already plated!
