Perhaps you might know her.

She always had incredible energy from the first day we met.
Kind, caring, empathetic, driven to better herself and share that with others.

I'd recommend her to anyone.

She's sure to please!

Sonya Cote, Owner & Executive Chef

Sonya is a passionate advocate for the power of local ingredients, believing that fresh, locally-sourced produce not only enhances flavor but also nourishes the body and the environment. A trailblazer in Austin’s locavore movement, she’s made her mark with iconic establishments like Eastside Showroom, Hillside Farmacy, and Eden East. Now, in Bastrop, Texas—just 30 miles east of Austin—Sonya and her husband David, cultivate a vibrant 5-acre farm, only a mile from Store House Market & Eatery. Their seasonal harvest brings the true essence of farm-to-table dining straight to your plate.
