Thanksgiving Centerpieces

Dragonfly Floral, Healdsburg

Full of unusual flowers, this organic flower farm is also a florist and floral school. You can either order a spectacular arrangement for your Thanksgiving table, or gather friends and family for a private class and each design your own. 

Thanksgiving Tableware

Storia Home, Sebastopol

Also in The Barlow, this beautiful home goods store has been curated by interior designer Gina Guiterrez, and includes dishes, flatware, serving pieces, and table linens made mostly by small local businesses. Need some Thanksgiving tablescape styling tips? Ask and ye shall receive. 

Made Local Marketplace, Santa Rosa

Set within the Montgomery Village shopping and dining complex, this sprawling showcase for Sonoma County and North Bay artists, crafters, and producers offers unique, hand-crafted goods such as ceramic plates, tapered candles, wood vessels, and table linens. 

Farm to Pantry

Led by local chef/farmer Duskie Estes, nonprofit Farm to Pantry goes onto more than 350 farms and backyards throughout Sonoma County, gleaning produce that would otherwise be discarded and sharing it with marginalized families. Support their efforts this Thanksgiving with a donation, or contact them to volunteer for a three-hour session of farm gleaning. ([email protected] or 707-955-9898)
