Down on the Farm
Full Belly Farm Tour
Nugget Markets’ produce managers and buyers just got back from a fun-filled trip to visit our friends at Full Belly Farm in the Capay Valley. While on our visit, we learned all about the 300-acre farm that has been growing organically for more than 28 years. Fully Belly Farm is family owned and operated, and their tender love and care shows in their delicious products. Dru Rivers, one of the founders of the farm, shared their passion for not only growing food, but also growing farmers. While the concept sounded a bit strange at first, Dru explained that Fully Belly Farm offers an internship to students who are interested in starting their own farms. Full Belly’s internship program has grown more than 100 farmers, resulting in more than 100 new organic farms across our country.

Bellwether Farms
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!
