Fermentation Bar

A unique part of The Shed is the Fermentation Bar , where twelve different wines, six beers, and cider are available on draft. Special soft drinks and juices, such as kombucha, are also made here using pairing and fermentation techniques. In addition to the Fermentation Bar, there is a coffee bar and a café where you can have lunch and dinner. The menu changes every day and is inspired by the season.

FARMING

Founders Cindy and Doug even run a farm in the vicinity of The Shed. Many of the products that they use and sell also come from their land: vegetables, fruit, olives, and the wine that is served in The Shed, which is made from grapes from their vineyard. In addition, they often collaborate with other local companies, such as grower and purveyor Mix Garden , Bernier Farms and The Flying Goat , the coffee shop opposite The Shed. These coffee roasters collect their coffee beans from all over the world and then roast them in Healdsburg. When searching for the beans, they take note of the wellbeing of the farmers’ employees and animals, as well as ensuring that the coffee farmer is environmentally conscious. The Flying Goat won the Good Food Award for this at the beginning of 2013.

EDUCATION

With The Shed founders Cindy Daniel and Doug Lipton want to pass on knowledge of products, good food and sustainability. They do this, among other ways, by holding workshops en lectures on topics such as growing your own vegetables and fruit, or the possible extinction of the bee and how to tackle this issue. In the shop , everything from seeds to books is then sold, in order to put the acquired knowledge into practice.
