Petaluma

Petaluma is a town on the southern border of Sonoma County, right next to Marin County, in California.

Part of moving in to a new place is finding the various vendors.

Food

Petaluma Market at the intersection of Western Ave and Keller Street (the extension of 5th). Decent basic grocery store.

G & G Super Market out near the college is huge and has a decent produce section.

I still miss United over in San Anselmo.

Agriculture

Sonoma County Farm Trails

Lavender Bee Farm

Asian Medicinal Herb Farm

The Natural Gardening Company


Hardware & Lumber

Woodcraft Santa Rosa is a decent woodcraft store with a Festool selection, and a small but varied hardwood selection.

Used lumber is available at the dump, go towards the commercial area, bear right which will actually be a path that crosses back left after the scales, and drive to the top of the hill.

New lumber calls for a trip north: I've heard that Mount Storm is the place to buy hardwood lumber. Higgins Hardwoods in Rohnert Park is a favorite of flooring and cabinetry guys, but has a minimum $250 order size for us lowly individuals. Mead Clark in southern Santa Rosa is your basic lumber yard, a step above Lowes or Home Despot.

Tomasini Rex Hardware at 4th and B has great service, but I've also had some interesting and useful help, against all expectations, up at Orchard Supply Hardware.

PALS is over in Oakland, but it's been recommended to me over MacBeath, and they've got cherry veneer sheet goods, for when we start to do the built-ins in the office.
