A Family Farm Takes Shape
The early years are spent learning the rhythms of the land — working long days, building relationships with neighbours, and nurturing the first thriving orchards.
Word spreads through the region about the quality of Dominic and Marianna’s fruit — honest produce grown with care, family, and pride.
Passing Down the Knowledge
Their sons join the business, bringing new energy and hands-on experience to the family farm.
Together, they expand the orchards, invest in new equipment, and refine techniques passed down from their parents — like the careful pruning methods still used today.
The Costa name becomes known across the district for reliability and quality.

Expansion and Modernisation
Adapting with the Times
The third generation steps in, introducing modern growing practices and new technologies to support larger harvests.
Irrigation systems are upgraded, soil health management improves, and new varieties of stone fruit and grapes are planted.
Despite change, the family’s values remain the same: quality, integrity, and care for the land.
