SingleThread Farm is a dynamic farm, Michelin starred restaurant and inn. Located in the Dry Creek Valley in Healdsburg, CA, it spans 24 acres of diverse landscapes, surrounded by vineyards. Guided by a commitment to sustainable and responsible land management, the farm, led by Head Farmer Katina Connaughton and the team, cultivates 8.5 acres of culinary crops, orchard trees, cut flowers, perennials, and a tea garden. The property features a greenhouse, shade structures, an heirloom fruit orchard, olive trees, and beehives, contributing to a rich biodiversity. SingleThread Farm supplies its kitchen with an abundance of fresh produce, including vegetables, fruit, herbs, flowers, honey, and olive oil. With a focus on thoughtful, manual farming practices and a deep connection to the seasons, the farm aims to foster healthy soil and habitats for future generations.

An apprentice can expect to work on all aspects of the farm including seeding, planting, cultivating, harvesting, washing and general field duties for the restaurant and CSA. Apprentices will help tend to hundreds of varieties of culinary crops and cut flowers. They may also be involved in their heirloom orchards which host apples, pears, and stone fruits. There will also be opportunities to take part in beekeeping and potentially participate in workshops. Single Thread also has a dedicated culinary team that apprentices may work with, to process farm crops for preserves, fermentations, and condiments.

From cultivating hundreds of varieties of culinary crops and cut flowers with care, to maintaining an orchard of apples, pears, and stone fruits, Single Thread exemplifies a commitment to biodiversity and a diverse biological habitat. Their mission includes a focus on seasonality, locality, and sustainability, symbolized by their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program that extends farm-fresh food beyond the restaurant, to their local community. Notably, the farm goes beyond traditional culinary practices by sourcing cutlery, plates, and bowls from local artisans, emphasizing a meticulously crafted experience while supporting the artist community.
