SingleThread Farm Store is now open in the Dry Creek Valley. Positioned on SingleThread's 24-acre working farm, the Farm Store is the result of Head Farmer and Owner Katina Connaughton's longtime vision to create a shared space in support of vibrant ecology that not only serves an agricultural purpose, but that also provides a community and educational benefit.

We are excited to welcome you to the Farm Store. Visit us Thursday-Sunday from 11am-5pm for a curated selection of farm fresh produce, florals, and larder items created by our culinary team. 

VISIT THE FARM STORE

Our May Farm Boxes feature some of the first strawberries of the year. To celebrate, Katina has shared a special memory from her time in Japan with Chef Kyle and their young family. Read on below and to pre-order your SingleThread Farm Box for pick-up on Saturday May 21st or May 28th, visit our Tock page.

Strawberry season takes me back to a tiny fishing village called Toyoura in the northern island of Japan where we raised our young family. The town of Toyoura faces volcanic Uchiura Bay at the edge of the North Pacific Ocean and is famous for hotate and ichigo (scallops and strawberries). It is here my love of agriculture began to take shape with the sweet perfection of a single strawberry.

Memories of golden summer days and sticky strawberry smiles on our daughters' faces warm my heart to no end. Every year I strive to grow strawberries as sweet, juicy, and desirable as the strawberries of Toyoura. Perhaps it's the challenge of trying to crack the Japanese farming code of growing them so undeniably perfectly. Or more likely, it's a quest fueled by nostalgia to transport myself back to that time on the island where I learned the grace of seasonality, an unwavering love of agriculture, and unlocked the person I was meant to be. I hope these strawberries bring you so much joy.

With love, Katina

Chef Kyle, Katina and some of the SingleThread team are traveling to Japan at the end of May to celebrate twenty years of friendship with Chef Namae Shinobu of L'Effervesence in Tokyo, Japan. 

This is the team's first return to Japan in over two years and is a special opportunity to continue two decades of collaboration, as well as continue seafood sustainability initiatives locally with the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries. 

Kyle, Katina and Name-san originally met during their time at Michel Bras in Hokkaido and they later worked together again at Heston Blumenthal's The Fat Duck in Bray, England. The Connaughtons and Namae-san felt an immediate kinship and have continued to collaborate and support each other as an extended family, cooking together and participating in educational events all over the world, at SingleThread in Healdsburg, and now at L'Effervescence in Tokyo!

The special collaboration dinner will take place at L'Effervescence on Monday, May 30th. Booking details can be found here. L'Effervesence is currently ranked #26 on the World's 50 Best Restaurant List and holds three Michelin stars. 

Chef Kyle is thrilled to welcome good friends Chef Val Cantu of Californios in San Francisco, and Chef Jorge Vallejo of Quintonil in Mexico City, for a special collaboration dinner at SingleThread on Thursday, May 19th. 

The 10-course tasting menu will showcase the combined influences of Chef Val, Chef Jorge, and Chef Kyle Connaughton. Due to the specific nature of the dishes, unfortunately we will be unable to accommodate a vegetarian or vegan menu. Optional alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage pairings will be available.

The tasting menu price is $425 per person, with the addition of taxes and a 20% gratuity. This purchase in non-refundable and all bookings are final.

Bookings are available on Tock starting April 1st at 9am PST.
