Owner Inspiration
We never tire of hearing the many inspirational stories of our owners. From small family farms, cooking communities, cookbok creators, French cottages, and picturesque inns, our ranges find their home in a myriad of settings. Here is just a small sampling of how our eclectic group of owners brings their culinary and design passions to new levels.
