As a locally-owned company since 1926, we understand the importance of supporting our local farmers and producers. In our stores we’ve begun labeling products that have been grown or produced within 100 miles of our home offices in Woodland. We’ve dedicated this issue of Fresh to Market to all the great local producers and farmers who bring us some of the best food in
the world!

Bellwether Farms Ricotta and Spinach Gnocchi with Pancetta and Terra Firma Farm’s Locally Grown
Spring Onions

Most people with a gluten intolerance will tell you that one of the foods they miss most is pasta. Whether you’re eating gluten-free or not, this is a great recipe! This gluten-free gnocchi is surprisingly similar to traditional gnocchi and has a lighter bite, and the addition of Terra Firma’s spring onions makes it a dish to die for!

Ruhstaller 1881 California Red Ale

Sacramento, CA

Ruhstaller California Red Ale is from one of Sacramento’s first premium craft breweries, founded in 1881. This red ale is made with California malted barley and West Coast hops. We love it not only because it’s local, but for its nice aromatics, great balance,
and “sessionability.”

its-it

It’s-It

San Francisco, CA

In 1928, George Whitney placed a scoop of vanilla ice cream between two large old-fashioned oatmeal cookies and then dipped the sandwich into dark chocolate, birthing the first It’s-It Ice Cream Sandwich. George sold the It’s-It exclusively in San Francisco’s Playland-at-the-Beach for more than four decades. When the park closed, the city of San Francisco went without for quite some time until 1974, when It’s-It opened a small shop in San Francisco. Now we are proud to carry this local product in our stores.

Nugget Markets/Alaffia Sustainable Skin Care Bike Drive

We’re teaming up with our guests and the Alaffia Bicycles for Education Program, whereby donated bicycles are collected, refurbished and shipped to Togo, West Africa. The bikes are distributed to secondary-school-aged students in rural Togo in order to help them get to school by providing kids with not only a vital means of transportation, but also a helmet and training session on bike maintenance and safety. It’s amazing how your donated bike can truly change a life.
