Torn Ranch To Move To PetalumaBy Loralee StevensNorthBayBusinessJournal.com

PETALUMA — Torn Ranch, a manufacturer of gourmet treats with thousands of retail and wholesale customers throughout North America, will move from Novato to Petaluma.

The 10-year-old company now occupies two buildings and wants to consolidate its operations, according to Dean Morrow, Torn Ranch president.

“We like the business climate in Petaluma, and we liked the leasing options,” he said. “Also, many of our employees live in Sonoma County.”

Mr. Morrow, citing the highly competitive nature of gourmet food manufacturing, was close-mouthed about the size of his staff and company revenues. Torn Ranch is thought to employ about 100.

“We do intend to expand our workforce, and the move represents an expansion space-wise,” he said.

The company will occupy just over 50,000 square feet on both floors of a Mrs. Grossman’s Paper Co. facility on Cyprus Drive in Petaluma.
