About Us
A Name That Tells a Story
The name Folia draws inspiration from a triad of meanings: a nod to foliage, honoring the hyper-seasonal produce of Sonoma County; to portfolio, reflecting Chef Charlie Palmer’s celebrated career and culinary legacy; and to the Latin root meaning “a single sheet of paper”—a metaphor for a daily menu that distills the full spirit of place into one thoughtfully curated page.
Live-Ember Cooking
At Folia, a central wood-fired hearth anchors the kitchen and fuels our live-ember cooking style. This elemental approach brings depth, warmth, and a touch of smoke to every plate—letting fire, wood, and Sonoma’s seasonal ingredients lead the way.
Our Farmers & Purveyors
Folia is built on relationships—with the land, and with the people who cultivate it. We proudly source from Sonoma County’s most dedicated farmers, ranchers, and makers, including Hog Island Oyster Co., Liberty Duck, Bellwether Farms, Front Porch Farms, and Quail & Condor. Their craft, care, and proximity shape every dish we serve, bringing the region’s richness straight to the table.
