Remember Cazadero Supply’s 1st Saturday 15% Discount Day offers a vast assortment of household, garden and vehicle items for your spring projects.
Raymond’s Bakery continues its popular pizza/music nights each Friday until 9 p.m. Both the Cazadero and Duncans Mills General Stores have daily groceries, tasty sandwiches and specialty items. Check out the array of locally hand-crafted items at CaZ Central, next to the Caz Store.
I just saw the For Sale sign on Berry’s Mill—wow! Lots of Caz history there!
Mr. Trombly’s Teas and Table stores, Treats and Toys, and Marissa’s new women and men’s clothing shop near the flower store—all located in Duncans Mills-are owned by Cazaderans. Lots of live music now offered at Gold Coast, along with a variety of dinner plates. Their rear expanded deck is one of my fave places to just sit and chat with friends, occasionally petting the resident kitties.
Frank Egger, owner of Cazadero Winery tells me that that he just delivered wine to the Caz Store.
