Economy

Agriculture remains important to the local economy, but it has decreased in relative importance as the area has become more suburban. Local wineries such as Bloomfield, Tamayo, and Hannah Nicole have risen in sales and prestige after winning numerous awards at the San Francisco Chronicle Wine Competition and the California State Fair in recent years. In the northeastern part of the city there is no heavy industry and only a small light industrial area. Brentwood experienced a strong economic boom between 2000 and 2008.
