Sonoma’s Barlow Apple Cannery Takes On New Life As An Artisans’ Marketplace

Feb 24, 2013
Daily / Feature

In Sonoma, the historic Barlow Apple Cannery is getting a new lease on life. In its newest incarnation, it’s been transformed into a working marketplace and production facility for local artisans and food producers.

Phase One, which made its debut in January, saw a handful of new tenants setting up shop. Kosta Browne Winery, Wolfard Glassblowing Company, Guayaki Yerbe Mate and Bronze Plus Art Foundry all opened their doors in January, and additional butchers, bakers — and yes, candle makers — are scheduled to round out the remaining shop space on April 1.

Billed as the first business community in the country to directly connect customers with a group of working artists and food artisans at the site of actual production, the 215,000 square-foot space at the Barlow will also be the location of the Sebastopol Farmers Market, bocce ball courts, and a gathering area with fire pits and seating.

Review: Sushi by Scratch at Grand Hyatt Deer Valley

Husband-and-wife team Phillip Frankland Lee and Margarita Kallas-Lee made their mark by reinventing the term “hidden gem” through their surprising and intentional collection of destination restaurants. While they launched the original Scratch Kitchen in 2013, an expired lease prompted them to relocate to an unassuming strip mall in suburban Encino in 2015 and rename it Scratch Bar & Kitchen. Even at a time when the San Fernando Valley was not known for innovative 5-star dining, the Lees’ concepts gathered such a strong buzz that discerning diners cheerfully followed them “over the hill.”
