Early Life and Education
Nadia Farmiga was born on August 17, 1992, in Clifton, New Jersey, USA. She was brought up by her parents, Mykhailo Farmiga, a systems analyst turned landscaper, and Lubomyra “Luba” Spas Farmiga, a schoolteacher, in a large, close-knit Ukrainian immigrant household that emphasized culture, hard work, and family values.
She grew up alongside her six siblings: Victor Farmiga, Vera Farmiga, Stephan Farmiga, Alexander Farmiga, Laryssa Farmiga (born with spina bifida), and Taissa Farmiga.
From a young age, she developed an interest in practical skills and later pursued higher education, graduating with a degree in mechanical engineering before transitioning into the food industry. Her ethnicity is Ukrainian-American.
Career
Nadia Farmiga began her professional path after earning her mechanical engineering degree, but soon shifted focus to the culinary world.
She worked alongside her husband, Wilson Costa, at Le Garrick restaurant in Manhattan’s theatre district before the couple relocated to New York’s Hudson Valley in 2002 to continue in local restaurants.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, she co-founded Misto Eats, a sustainable pop-up ordering service and catering company inspired by her Ukrainian heritage and Wilson’s Brazilian roots.
As CEO, Nadia emphasizes healthy lifestyles, sustainability, creativity in the kitchen, and farm-to-table practices while blending diverse flavors. The business offers pop-up events, catering, and community-focused meals that reflect their shared passion for food and family.
Operating independently without major corporate backing, she has built Misto Eats into a respected local venture through dedication, entrepreneurial spirit, and personal storytelling.
Her low-profile approach highlights how behind-the-scenes talent in large families can forge successful paths in niche industries, empowering others to merge cultural backgrounds with practical business skills.
