Lifestyle Icons How to identify special products in our stores…

Organic

At Nugget Markets, we are excited to offer our guests a wide variety of organic products.

Products marked with our Organic icon are certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), California Certified Organic Farmers (CCOF), Organic Crop Improvement Association (OCIA) or Oregon Tilth (OTCO). Products certified by the USDA are either 100% organic themselves, or 95% or more of the ingredients are organic certified.

Many of our chef-prepared and bakery products include organic ingredients. Look for signage that highlights organic ingredients.

Local

As a locally owned and operated grocer, Nugget Markets takes great pride in offering our guests top-quality products from local farms and producers.

Products marked with our Local icon are grown or produced by farmers or manufacturers located within a 100-mile radius of our home offices in Yolo County. Our buyers research and verify where products are grown and where our manufacturers produce their product so that you don’t have to.

California Grown

Located in the heartland of California, we strive to carry the very best our state has to offer.
