Where to shop
We do love to promote local businesses and local products, so here are
our favorite places in the area to buy food. Many also sell foods that
are grown locally.
Food
Within Walking Distance
Community Market - 1899
Mendocino Ave, Santa Rosa - 707-546-1806 - Vegetarian natural food
store. Excellent layout with full range of non-meat products. They do
have dairy products. Each
produce item is labelled with the name of the producer/grower. It's a wonderful worker run business.
Short Drive
Molsberry's Market - 4754 Old Redwood Hwy
Santa Rosa, CA 95401
(707) 546-0307 - Locally owned market with local meats, full amazing deli,
great seafood, good wine selection, huge cheese department and excellent
produce.
Pacific Market - 1465 Town & Country Drive
Santa Rosa - (707) 546-3663 - Very expensive pricing, but interesting for
the
gourmet cook/foodie.
Oliver's Market - 560
Montecito Center, Santa Rosa - 707-537-7123 or 461 Stony Point Road, Santa
Rosa - 707-284-3530 - Again, a bit pricey, but a nice selection. A great
alternative to Whole Foods because it's locally owned and operated.
Slightly further, but within 15 minutes
Andy's Produce - 1691
Gravenstein Highway - Sebastopol - 707-823-8661 - We can't say enough good
about this place. A firm commitment to locally produced products,
especially amazing fruits during the summer. Huge organic foods section
with foods that don't look like they travelled any distance to arrive at
this destination. Also a wonderful selection of
about everything you can think of in the bulk foods areas. Full market
with some fresh cured type meats and some frozen uncured meats. Vegetarian
and vegan options in the canned/frozen foods sections. This is an open-air
market.
There are a couple of Trader Joe's Markets and Whole Foods markets as
well if you prefer not to shop with local merchants. Just ask us for
directions.
Wine & Spirits
Bottle Barn - 3331 A Industrial
Drive, Santa Rosa - 707-528-1161 - Local owners have extensive knowledge
of wine and spirits. You will find very unique and very popular
selections. Absolutely the best
place to buy interesting wines from all over the world. Outrageously good
pricing on everything.
