COMPANY STORY
Started in 2011 by Jorge Alcazar and his family, Frozen Art Ice Cream and Paletas serves Mexican-style ice cream and fruit bars, a family tradition first popularized in the small town of Tocumbo, Michoacan in Mexico. Family owned and run for three generations, the ice cream uses the best quality produce from local growers and around the world. Made with no preservatives and low air content, Frozen Art’s ice cream produces a fresh, smooth twist on classic flavors. It is not unusual to find 40 or more flavors offered at its ice cream shop in the Roseland neighborhood of Santa Rosa, CA. With flavors ranging from Mexican Caramel, Cardamom, Triple Berry Bliss, Avocado and Corn, the Alcazars continue to reinvent ice cream options for their many loyal customers. Their tagline is “keep it small, simple, fresh” and they certainly succeed with their mission.
WHY SONOMA COUNTY?
In 2014, when Keysight Technologies was spun off by Agilent, the company could have located anywhere in the world. However, it chose to remain in Sonoma County. Senior Vice-President and Chief of Staff, Hamish Gray, points out the many advantages of locating a business in Sonoma County, including access to a highly-skilled labor force, existing technological infrastructure, and close proximity to San Francisco and the Silicon Valley.
Gray also points out Sonoma County’s superb quality of life.“We are here in Sonoma County because of the legacy of Hewlett-Packard’s founders. We have chosen to be here because of Sonoma County’s quality of life. It appeals to the type of person looking for a different lifestyle compared to city living.”
