Farm to Fork Fabulousness!
The Sacramento region is the nation’s Farm to Fork Capitol, and we had an amazing experience interacting and serving our visitors at last week’s Farm to Fork Festival in downtown Sacramento! As a major sponsor of Farm to Fork Week, Nugget Markets partnered with the Sacramento Visitors Bureau and local businesses, farmers, local producers and non-profits in celebration of everything our area has to offer. Festival-goers got to sample Nugget Markets specialties from departments such as our deli, bakery, cheese, produce, and grocery, and learn about our history, our local offerings, and interact with some of our local farmers. We even gave away organic dog treats for our four-legged festival goers!

Pallet for Your Palate
DIY Upcyled Pallet Garden
This past weekend we were thrilled to participate in the first Farm to Fork Festival in Sacramento. Part of our display included some very fun pallet gardens filled with edible herbs, flowers and ornamental peppers. They were a huge hit, so we wanted to share how to create this beautiful, decorative and delicious wall of edible art. Follow our simple tutorial to give a pallet a second life, creating a palette of colors for your palate.
