PESCADERO – On a crisp, crystalline winter morning, the kind of glorious day when you can understand why fog-accustomed folks here say that winter is their summer, three men of a certain age were chatting volubly in the back booth at Duarte's Tavern.

Truly, that volcanically formed archipelago off Portugal, ancestral home to many residents here, has nothing on tiny Pescadero – Portuguese for "fishing town," but really so much more packed into a pfour-square-mile space with 643 residents, not counting goats, chickens, turkeys, peacocks and, especially in the summer months, tourists fleeing fast-paced lives.

Ken Buys Made in Pescadero Building
Ken Periat bought the building and it will soon get a paint job and a new roof!
We closed the store for the first weekend in twelve years in order to have it fumigated last weekend, and we hope this did not inconvenience anyone.
