"Three Stone Hearth was founded in June 2006 by a cooperative of five worker-owners: Porsche Combash, Misa Koketsu, Jessica Prentice, Catherine Spanger, and Larry Wisch, after a year of meeting and joint business planning. Our original location was at the north end of Aquatic Park in West Berkeley, where we operated from June 2006 until December 2008, when we moved to our current space on University Avenue. Co-founder Larry Wisch passed away in May 5, 2012." [1]
