Family Grows Sausage-Making Operation From Scratch

When Sostenes and Elizabeth Garcia got married three decades ago in Mexico, they promised each other they would someday start a family business.

Sostenes Garcia’s father owned a butcher shop, and Elizabeth Garcia’s father sold him beef. Their son and daughter’s paths crossed as they worked in the family businesses in 1986. In 1989, the pair tied the knot.

Twenty-nine years and four kids later, the Garcias have made their goal a reality through their family sausage-making business, Chorizo Selecto, at 439 Washington Ave. in Holland.
