At Nugget Markets, we strive to use the best local produce in our kitchens, 365 days a year (or, as is the case in 2012, 366 days!). At different times of the year, you will find dishes in our deli case that incorporate leeks, beets, eggplant, tomatoes, squash and other delicious produce items, all grown locally.

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.
The Botran family has been making rum in Guatemala for six decades. This Reserva won a Gold Medal at the Ministry of Rum's 2010 tasting competition. It is a blend of rums aged 5 to 14 years using the same multi-barrel aging process as their Solera.
These two are practically made for each other! Sauvignon Blanc and Chevre cheese are a natural pairing because the wine's acidity cuts through the creaminess of the cheese. Some of our favorite California Chevres got a make-over! Enjoy new flavors like PsycheDillic, Sgt. Pepper, and Herbes de Humboldt. All handmade in Humboldt county, with all-natural unique ingredients. Pair these scrumptious Cypress Grove chevres with this Benziger, a beautifully crisp aromatic wine made from organically grown grapes.
