Asian furniture arrives in Graton from China,
Japan and Korea. The Trading Company
concentrates on fine quality antiques and vintage
– traditional Asian pieces that are suitable for the
American lifestyle.
The Trading Company's art collection is an
evolving mixture of Asian and local Sonoma
County artists. Gary has commented, "There will
always be a representation of modern pieces that
are comfortably compatible with the more
traditional." Both Gary and Lou have fostered
relationships with local artists in an effort to
recruit them and their art for the Trading
Company. Visit frequently to be sure and see it
all.

The objective of Lou and Gary has been to
create an environment that is comfortable and
interesting like a well-appointed home, thus
inspiring their visitors to recreate that
environment with pieces large or small, Asian or
Californian, in their homes. Since arriving in
Sonoma County, both men have developed a
strong interest in local art and culture, which
they’ve tapped into to create their home in
Bodega Bay. Through a pleasing combination of
their traditional, contemporary and Asian
furniture, and classic California architecture and
art, they have crafted a sophisticated, casual
and adventurous look for their home.

Far West Trading Company's own TeaBar brand is a
collection of the very finest loose-leaf teas, herb
blends, yerba mate and rooibos. Ask to smell
and taste a brewed sample when you're visiting.
Tea is served in a contemporary style at the bar
in Graton along with hot and cold tonics. Plan to
sit a spell because you won't find carry-out at Far
West. Never a ceremony. No cultural rip-off.
Tea is demystified and Americanized. TeaBar
serves tea for the rest of us!
Far West Trading Company incense comes from
Japan and Korea. One variety is made of organic
ingredients that produces a lovely aroma with
much less smoke of other incenses. You’ll love
its gentle scent. You will also find a selection of
the finest traditional Japanese sandalwood and
aloes wood incense available for the most
discriminating customer. The Korean incense
selection is of surprising quality and value.
