Sebastopol has a rich agricultural history, including Luther Burbank's Experiment Farm, where the renowned horticulturist developed more than 800 varieties of fruits, flowers, vegetables, and grains beginning in the 1880s.
But it's far from just a farm town.
The city (pop. 7,521) celebrates its farming roots with a year-round farmer's market and festivals such as the Gravenstein Apple Fair, yet also embraces the fine arts, culture, history (West County Museum), healing arts, fine dining, wine, the environment, sustainable living, outdoor recreation (Laguna de Santa Rosa Wetlands Preserve) and more.
Wander charming downtown Sebastopol and discover the many unique shops featuring crafts, health food, clothing, books, housewares and toys, along with restaurants, pubs, New Age stores, and art galleries. Antique stores abound, earning it the nickname Antique Row.
About a half-mile northeast of downtown, you can visit shops, tasting rooms and eateries in the park-like setting of the 220,000-square-foot business center known as The Barlow.
