I have been replacing my All Clad non…read morestick with Hestan titanium which Science says is the best nonstick pan that isn't bad for your health or require the seasoning and heft of cast iron. I went in to ask how to use my new pan because it was sticking a bit. Of course they knew exactly how to solve my problem. I needed to learn how to use my new pan. You have to heat the pan (dry) first, before you add your fat, then add your food (eggs for me). It worked perfectly. The pans have worked every time since. It's always a new learning experience with new technology. Classic nonstick pans taught us never to heat an empty pan. Now it's the reverse. ILeoni has the most knowledgeable staff around. We all know too well how rare good customer service is today. I shop there as often as possible. I want a family owned small business to be able to thrive and be here for decades to come. I was taught that you vote with every dollar you spend. iLeoni has my vote. Excellent service, competitive prices and the best selection around! Happy shopping

Meanwhile the very sweet (and clearly new) employee tried to locate additional stock on the computer for two items. No luck, so she checked with one of the women preoccupied with her co-workers who said she didn't know if more stock was coming. This second employee announced that the rep for brand A and another for brand B hadn't been to the store and she had no idea when they might visit. I asked if she could order what I was looking for and she said "no, we have to order in bulk". No suggestions , no offer to help. I went back to browsing and the new employee located something similar to what I wanted, so I bought it and two other alternatives, as I needed a gift asap. The new employee wrapped my items up, was very kind and thanked me. I honestly thought maybe I stumbled into a reality show, where the store employees were actors trying to be unhelpful. I refuse to shop on Amazon and that's what brought me to this local shop....but next time I'll find somewhere else to spend my money. For a boutique kitchen store, they evidently don't need the business enough to appear even mildly helpful. But thanks to that new employee.

Although they do have shelves where they sell some low waste items, the selection generally wasn't what I expected having been to a similar shop in Berkeley. It felt like they could have done more with the space they had and their choices in products.

We found out about the mercantile through the Petaluma Mother's Club, and we were so excited to give them a try . Dawna is so sweet and knowledgeable about her products, and for the most part, we have really liked what we brought home. Our favorites are the laundry items: dry laundry booster, the stain remover and the laundry soap, but the unscented liquid dish soap is also really nice. I have gotten into the habit of putting our jars in the trunk so when I run out, I always have a jar ready when I'm in the area. Downsides of course are the challenges around parking. Oof, especially with a baby, it can be so tough getting in and out of the area. If it's peak gym time too, forget about it ! The drama in the parking lot rivals black Friday. Once that hurdle is made however, it's smooth sailing to the land of refil, reuse, and reduce. Big fan!

Service is warm, intelligent, and deeply informed. Plant selection for quality native plants is very good. Their plants are a little pricey --(perhaps 10-15% more than Home Depot for example) but they stand behind their plants/products. Any plants or products that don't work out, just bring your receipt and they will give you a store credit or credit your card. Much of the value Harmony offers is in the quality of the products, the plants, and the intelligent service. Seriously, there is nowhere else I could go to find out how to dig up a fern from acidic soil, and properly care for it while it overwinters before planting it under a nearby redwood tree in the Spring! Harmony Farms also carries extraordinarily unique products, such as Stella Natura's biodynamic planting guide and a wide variety of seasonal, organic specialty plants as well as hard-to-find organic soil amendments. Parking is abundant. They're located just off of the Hwy 101/Penngrove exit heading east. A large sign that says "Barn" offers a fairly quick turn on your R into a wide gravel driveway. Enjoy!

I also asked Desiree and Tony to make the seat cushions and 10 back cushions of my kitchen window seat about 6 years ago. That window seat forms the breakfast nook in my kitchen. My 7 grandchildren have given it a workout over the years. A few of the seams were splitting as the threads had broken. I took the seat cushions back to Desiree and Tony at Petaluma Textile and Design for repair. I was surprised that after 6 years they remembered me and welcomed me like an old friend. They fixed the cushions and when I went to pay for the repair, Tony said, "Oh, there is no charge. It was just some broken threads." Honestly, it made my day. The quality of their work and the fabrics they use are recommendations enough, but Desiree and Tony are also kind and friendly. It is the best combination of old time pride in their work and great service with integrity.
