WHY SONOMA COUNTY?

When I was settled into my role in corporate finance, I took a moment to reflect on the best environment for my future. That led me to make the decision to return to Sonoma County. I knew the bakery my parents purchased when I was a child had incredible potential. I also felt that Sonoma County offered the big picture of what I wanted in life. A connected community! At Costeaux we lead by our core values: family, community, service and quality. It’s hard to imagine another place that could foster the culture we strive for other than Sonoma County.
