G & S Farms
Emilio Ghiggeri planted the first sweet corn in Brentwood in the 1940’s when the area was known primarily for its production of lettuce, apricots, and melons. The farm became G&S (Ghiggeri and Stonebarger) Farms in the 1980’s when Glenn Stonebarger, who is a 3rd year-generation Brentwood farmer, married Emilio’s daughter, Jeannie. Today, Brentwood is famous for its sweet corn production, particularly a variety called Brentwood Diamonds, which G&S Farms was the first to grow in the 1990’s.
The farming operation continues today under the management of Glenn, with the help of his nephew, Joseph Ghiggeri, and two sons, Paul and Michael. G&S Farms is one of the few remaining farms in Brentwood. As a family, G&S Farms is proud to be farming all non-GMO produce. G&S Farm’s staple products consist of their Brentwood Diamond Sweet Corn, as well as their Brentwood Cherries. Among some of their other favorite crops to grow are onions, cherries, apples, and fresh market beans such as Blue Lake, French, Yellow Wax, and Romano.
