  • In 2020, Healdsburg locals Laurie and Jeff Ubben purchased the former SHED, an award-winning building that was both a restaurant and retail space. Their vision was to build upon SHED's community-minded legacy and open a farm-forward gathering place where their passions for live music and sustainability would anchor a collaborative destination.

    The Ubben family brought on their longtime collaborator, Ken Fulk, as Creative Director. In addition to designing homes, restaurants, hotels, and experiences, Fulk founded San Francisco's non-profit Saint Joseph's Arts Foundation in 2018. to support the creative community and nurture a spirit of gratitude. As a spontaneous spin-off of that concept, Healdsburg's newly minted "Little Saint" would be a satellite venue for the Foundation's arts programming.
