“Nugget Markets has always been dedicated to supporting new and local farmers,” said Jose Torres, director of produce at Nugget Markets. “It’s an honor to be able to support farmers who are just starting out, while also offering our guests the freshest produce from farms that are literally just around the corner.”

“A huge hurdle for beginning farmers is accessing market opportunities. Nugget Markets’ enthusiasm for working with beginning farmers operating small scale farms is incredibly unique and exciting,” said Sara Bernal, program manager of the West Sacramento Urban Farm Program. “Being able to see produce grown in the exact community it is being sold in is extremely rare. Farmers benefit by learning the ins and outs of wholesale marketing and customers benefit by getting vine-ripened produce grown less than a mile from their store.”

The partnership between Nugget Markets and CLBL is the latest in a long line of joint efforts to support local agriculture, in a relationship more than a decade strong. The California Farm Academy is just one of many programs that further CLBL’s mission to cultivate opportunity for youth, agriculture, business and the environment. Since Nugget Markets is dedicated to supporting local farmers, agricultural preservation and youth and education, their partnership for CLBL’s various programs and events is a natural fit.
