Taste the Best of Sonoma County: Harvest Fair Winners 2019

Here at Oliver’s, we’ve spent years and worked very hard to build and cultivate a reputation for quality in Sonoma County. We have a wonderful team of creative and talented bakers, chefs, buyers, planners, doers, and thinkers; we like to think of each and every entry into the annual Sonoma County Harvest Fair as a work of art, a masterpiece of creative expression by our team members. Check out this year’s award winners, then stop by and try them for yourself!

Since opening our doors, Oliver’s has centered our focus squarely on Sonoma County-local products, and truly, nothing is more local than the food we make in our own kitchens. Our insanely talented bunch of chefs are the brains behind your favorite Oliver’s Own dishes, turning out everything from restaurant-quality pizza to decadent crab cakes to spectacular salads, and much more. On the sweeter side, our bakers are the cream of the crop, producing a gorgeously decadent array of sweets, cakes, cookies, and more every day in each of our four stores.

Each year, we turn these masters of the culinary arts loose on the Sonoma County Harvest Fair, and 2019 has been no exception. Their sweet and savory creations may have impressed the Harvest Fair judges, but let’s see how they impress the most important judge of all – YOU!
