To us, it’s where life comes full circle. The farm is where dirt cultivates beauty, decay breeds life, and where an aspiring dancer and a jazz guitarist found their stage.
Nearly twenty years ago we moved to Healdsburg to raise our kids and start a farm. Our pursuit of farming was life-affirming- an experience we dreamed of sharing. Today SHED celebrates that vision, one that embraces the beauty and dignity of farming, the true taste of real food, and the pleasure that can be had from serving others.”

It’s proclaimed mission is to celebrate and nurture the connection between good farming, good cooking, and good eating.
Winner of a 2014 James Beard award for restaurant design, SHED is much more than just a restaurant. It is also a market where both food and retail items are sold and a gathering space that encourages community around food preparation and education. At SHED, one can find the best of Sonoma County’s local farming culture, delivering a seasonally curated selection of workshops, wares, and freshly prepared foods.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row unlock_row_content=”yes” row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”0″ top_padding=”0″ bottom_padding=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ shift_y=”0″ css=”.vc_custom_1477947734445{margin-top: 0px !important;margin-bottom: 0px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_single_image media=”54870″ media_width_percent=”100″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/1″][vc_column_text]SHED owners Doug Lipton and Cindy Daniel offer handcrafted products and edibles in the modern barn-like structure, with retail on the first floor and a community room upstairs, provided free for community events.
Having moved their family to a Healdsburg farm 20 years ago, agriculture is at the core of everything they do. The store highlights gardening equipment, produce and prepared food. They sell heirloom seeds, mill their own flour, cure meats and curate a retail selection of kitchen equipment, cookbooks and tableware. At night, photos depicting the agrarian history of Sonoma County are projected on the wall overlooking the wood oven that turns out handcrafted pizzas and main courses featuring local ingredients.
The San Francisco Chronicle has called it, “the most authentic and beautifully conceived restaurant in Sonoma County right now.”
SHED celebrates its Sonoma County location through its fine-tuned attention to locally sourced and creatively presented meals and also through connecting the community that values it to the community that produces it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
