History of Grangetto's Farm & Garden Supply
For more than 57 years Grangetto's Farm and Garden Supply has been supplying San Diego's North County Gardeners and Growers with the products they need. Surviving in a changing environment hasn't always been easy and the only constant in Grangetto's business has been the need for change.
Edward Grangetto, Sr. started the business simply enough in 1952 by supplying crop oils and fertilizers to the agricultural community. In the early 1970's local agriculture was changing and avocados became the boom crop of the area. In response to the change, the business expanded to include other products, such as chemicals and farm hardware. But, with urban encroachment during the 1980's, Grangettos expanded the number of stores and their product line to include irrigation products and materials needed by golf courses, municipalities and professional landscape maintenance companies.
Ed Grangetto, Sr. ran the business until 1975, when his son, Eddie Grangetto, Jr. joined him in managing the business. Eddie and his father ran the business together until Ed Senior's retirement in 1982. Several years later in 1985, Eddie's brother Kevin joined him in the business. The Grangetto brothers have brought a unique quality to the business in that they were both raised on the family avocado ranch and bring real-world production experience to their customers. Eddie focuses his efforts on developing custom fertilizer programs for avocados and citrus growers in the county, while Kevin enjoys working with nursery and landscape customers. Kevin and Eddie are licensed PCA's (Pest Control Advisor) and CCA's (Certified Crop Advisor). Being involved in these professional organizations allows them to stay in touch with the latest technology available for their growers.
According to Kevin Grangetto, "We want to continue to look at our markets and make the necessary changes to satisfy our customers."
