For more than 60 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.
