the shops at the barlow in sebastopol. / sfgirlbybay

as you might have seen on instagram last week, i made a visit to the barlow in the very charming town of Sebastopol, in northern california, just a short drive from san francisco. the barlow has been reinvented from a bygone apple canary, into a 12-acre Bay Area industrial-chic, outdoor market featuring locally made food, wine, beer, spirits, homewares and crafts — many of them made onsite by Sonoma County artisans.

it’s the home to some wonderful shops and loads of delicious food + drink, like barrio, the nectary, woodfour brewery and delicious wine tasting at pax — all in a dog-friendly, organic edible landscaping — a nod to the rich agricultural history that surrounds The Barlow. i thought i’d share a few of my favorite spots with you — next time you’re headed up north i highly recommend a visit! the barlow underwent a pretty tough year from all the northern california rains and flooding, so i’m all for showing them a lot of support! for a full list of all the shops and cafes, visit the barlow and check the links below to shop their wares online.

elsie green — what a beautiful place to shop!  meet my wonderful partners at super marché — the team has really outdone themselves in the design of their barlow shop (you can also visit them in their original concord shop as well as online) and the vast inventory of predominantly french vintage homewares. elsie green is a small sustainable (vintage is the ultimate way to recycle!), friends & family-run company, traveling the world to bring you beautiful, mostly vintage home decor and furnishings, plus a whole lot of design and styling inspiration for your home.

scout west county — i think of it as a modern mom & pop general store, and it’s quite possibly my new favorite store for clothing and homewares. i could have run off with most of what they sell here (thank goodness i can find them online, too) — Focused on aesthetic sustainability and craftsmanship, Scout features a global to local collection of makers creating home decor, women’s men’s and beautiful children’s wares. stop in and say hi to proprietors Grace and Oliver Estrada and the store namesake, scout their beautiful furry pup.
