SPOTLIGHT
Sisters Shannon Antonini and Emily Carvajal grew up together on a farm near the town ofTomales in the Petaluma Gap. In 1999 their mom founded Chris Maloney Crop Insurance Services, a North Coast agency that served both grape growers and livestock producers until it was acquired by American AgCredit in 2013. Emily’s husband, Fred Carvajal, joined the family business in 2003. They all worked together on crop insurance and agricultural lending at American AgCredit, and then in 2022, the three partners launched NorCoast Crop Insurance. Today, they serve many Petaluma Gap vineyard owners. Here’s their story.
