At Nugget Markets, we promote and support wineries that are committed to practicing sustainable farming and wine making. With many third-party organizations certifying these practices, we look to these and others to verify earth-friendly operations like the USDA, CCOF (California Certified Organic Famers), Lodi Rules (California's first third-party certified sustainable wine growing program) or SIP (Sustainabilitiy in Practice). By conforming to these organizations' guidelines, winery owners and winemakers are committing to "practices that enhance biodiversity, soil, and water health, community and employee well-being, while meeting our needs today and without compromising the needs of future generations." Look for special displays of these wonderful earth-friendly wines throughout Nugget Markets now. Cheers!
