December is a time to look back at the year and acknowledge our achievements, and it’s a time to look forward to the future and think about setting new goals. It’s also a chance to take a historical look at where we’ve been, which is why we’re proud to present how far Nugget Markets’ extraordinary Sustainability Program has come since it began six years ago!
As anybody in California knows, water is a scarce and expensive resource. This has been especially evident with some of the worst drought and fires on record and historical rainfall and flooding. Here at Nugget Markets, we work with a water conservation mindset and host many best practices that safeguard this natural resource.
In 1979, United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) founded World Food Day on October 16. If Earth Day is a call to action to take care of our earth, then World Food Day is a call to action to combat hunger!
September is Food Literacy Month here in the Sacramento Valley! We try to SEE sustainability every day within our stores, and we always love to support organizations working on enhancing food literacy in our communities. Now’s the perfect time to celebrate some of our amazing local partners in sustainability!
At Nugget Markets, we want you to feel good about the groceries you purchase at our stores AND how you take them home. As we phase back in the use of reusable bags at our checkstands and in produce, we want you to know what your options are when you check out. That’s why we’re excited to begin offering Ocean Plastic bags at our checkstands!
Summer is here, and that means warm sun, sandy beaches and that nostalgic smell of sunscreen. This month, we’re using the beautiful California sunshine as an excuse to show ourselves some summer lovin’! See how you can join the fun with a little summer-inspired self-care.
The sun is shining, the clouds are blue—come hop on your bike and join us in celebrating May is Bike Month! There are so many great trails located right in our backyard. Find your community below for some nifty bike trails, or consider checking out some from a neighboring area!
Whether you need a snack from our kitchen or something to sip from our coffee and juice bar, you can always recharge at our stores. Did you know that at two of our stores, you can also recharge your electric vehicle? It’s true! Whether you “fuel up” while grocery shopping or simply make a pit stop on a longer road trip, we’re here to help with electric vehicle (EV) charging stations at our Elk Grove and Vacaville stores.
Happy Earth Day! We’re happy to celebrate sustainability each and every day with a focus on Social responsibility, Environmental stewardship and Economic vitality. Celebrate with us by taking the time to SEE sustainability with all your senses.
Here at Nugget Markets, we look forward to April each year because it’s the moment we get to shine a light on our culture of sustainability! Earth Day lands on April 22, but we’re celebrating all month long by inviting our community join us in pledging to be greener.
