Paul Holmes began farming a few acres in Winters in the late 1980s. Today this 200-acre farm, co-owned by Paul Holmes, Hector Melendez-Lopez and Paul Underhill produces more than 100 crops each year, including spring, summer and winter vegetables, as well as stone fruit, citrus and nuts.
Once upon a time, Cindy Callahan needed a way to keep her pasture grasses under control, so she bought sheep. That one innocent act triggered what her son Liam calls, “a series of events that placed our family at the forefront of the American revival in artisan cheese making. It also tapped into the best in each of us, and resulted in work that feels more like a creative process than toll and labor.” Bellwether’s philosophy is simple; use the highest quality milk available to make the best cheeses possible. Cindy and her family bring us some of the best Ricotta we’ve ever tasted, and we’re proud to carry this world-class cheese in Nugget Markets. Liam challenged us to, “Take a bite out of any of our cheeses, and you’ll taste the difference one family’s commitment to quality can make,” and we couldn’t agree more!

Stress can sometimes get the best of us and it definitely takes a toll on our health, both mentally and physically. I love, love, love to use aromatheraphy as a safe and gentle way to combat stress. We have been using essential oils to enhance our body, mind and spirit for hundreds of years. After years and years of research, we have found that our sense of smell can have an enormous influence on our central nervous system. Certain smells can give us a sense of calm, comfort, and relaxation and may even promote restful sleep.
Bright red berry fruit, very little oak and refreshing acidity. Pinot Noir is quite possibly the easiest wine varietal with which to pair food. From salmon to pork, and with a variety of cheeses and salads, this is a workhorse around the table.

You know spring has sprung when these beauties start popping up. Set your table with love – perfect love that is. Tulips signify “perfect love”, and each color expresses a unique meaning. Yellow tulips symbolize cheerful thoughts, white expresses forgiveness, purple represents royalty, and red says, “Believe me.”
Tip: Re-cut the stems of your tulips when you get them home to keep them fresh longer. Cut the stems diagonally, removing about one-half inch. Tulips continue growing after being cut, up to an inch, and will conform to the shape of the container, so keep this in mind when choosing your vase.
