Petaluma Ca

[Juliebove]

Just found out that husband has been transferred there. Daughter and I do not want to move there but I don't know if it will be feasible for us to stay here. We own our house here so that complicates things. Anyway...

If we do have to go there, does anyone know about shopping and restaurants? I tried looking online. It looks like there is a Whole Foods, but I didn't see any other health food type places except for supplement places like GNC. What about restaurants?

Thanks!

Julie, I see no one has given you an answer. I lived in Sonoma until six years ago, so I am out of date to say the least. But all in all, Sonoma County is a fairly alternative kind of place and you should be able to be accommodated quite nicely. Petaluma is where I first found Whole Foods, many years ago before they were all over the place. I have not tried eating gluten free there since I only discovered my intolerance a year ago, but I don't feel that you should be afraid of eating there any more than anywhere else in the country.

Thanks! I've never been to a Whole Foods, but I hear they are expensive. We lived in Alameda for a few years. We didn't have a Whole Foods there and they were just building the Trader Joe's as we left. I remember driving by Whole Foods but we were always on our way to some place and couldn't stop.

Yeah, they are expensive, but nice! Plenty of Trader Joes availability which is cheaper (not sure if there is one in Petaluma now, but they are in Napa and Santa Rosa.) When shopping in Carson City this summer I would go to Whole Foods every couple of weeks to get what I couldn't get at Trader Joes.

There is a TJ's in Petaluma but I don't buy much from them. We have other allergies and there is just too much cross contamination with their food.
