THE BOOK

Bake the world-class breads of an award-winning Sonoma County–based bakery in your own kitchen. Della Fattoria Bread is more than an instructional guide; the book takes the fear out of bread baking and is the perfect tool to help the beginning baker trust their senses, experiences, and instincts in order to make artisanal bread at home. 

Kathleen Weber’s teachings are homespun and based on passed-down wisdom. The book is filled with her invaluable bread-baking secrets, including starters and proper techniques, and features recipes for all bakers. Experience the joys of baking and appreciate the beauty of rustic artisanal breads with Della Fattoria Bread.

THE CAFE

The Café is housed in the old U.S. Bakery building (circa 1860) on Petaluma Boulevard. The aromas of freshly baked pastries and breads have continuously filled the space for over 150 years. There was a time when Petaluma boasted a bakery in every block. A typical morning routine started with a trip to the post office, then the bakery, the butcher, the market and maybe the hardware store. There were many opportunities to bump into neighbors, exchange a little gossip, and reinforce vital connections with the community. The Della Fattoria Café picks up these traditions based in a slower, more convivial time by providing fine foods and bakery goods in a warm, enticing space that invites you to enjoy a meal, the best coffee and pastries, and connect with others who appreciate the 'art of the table'. And, as they did in those earlier times, take home a warm loaf of bread for the evening meal.
