As summer approaches, nothing sounds better to me than cooking up a homemade, well–seasoned burger on my backyard grill. In our meat departments, we use our Fresh to Market signature seasonings, hand mixed with our 85 percent lean ground beef, to create delicious, hand–shaped burgers. Our most popular flavor is our Garlic and Pepper Seasoned Burger, a tasty patty that is gluten free and packed with flavor in every bite.
Kick your taco night up a notch with one of our favorite products from our tortilla section: Mi Abuelita Bonita Nopal Corn Tortillas. Nopal (also known as the “prickly pear,” or, more commonly, cactus) is a truly underrated vegetable—it’s high in both fiber and calcium, yet low in cholesterol, and it adds great flavor to these corn tortillas!
If your dad likes to grill, may we suggest an aptly named Father’s Day gift? Specifically, Amazing Dad’s BBQ Sauce. All three flavors of this hearty sauce are naturally sweetened with organic honey, and they are also gluten free.
For many of our guests, Father’s Day is a great reason to get the whole gang together for a good, old–fashioned cookout—complete with a good, old–fashioned pie to top off the fun! This Father’s Day, we’re offering our made–from–scratch 9–inch cream pies in crowd–pleasing flavors including banana, chocolate and coconut.
My how they’ve grown! Our produce specialists just took another trip to Terra Firma Farm in Winters to follow up on their heirloom tomatoes’ progress after being transplanted. Paul with Terra Firma is excited about their progress and we’re thrilled to see the tomatoes doing so well! We look forward to carrying Terra Firma’s incredibly juicy heirloom tomatoes this season!

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!
