Ed Grossi grew up on a dairy ranch in Marin County, along with his nine siblings; while in high school, he participated in 4-H and Future Farmers of Amerca (FFA) showing dairy cows at local fairs, After graduation from Cal Poly, working on a hay ranch and growing a fertilizer business kept him busy. In 2000 he started Sweet Lane Nursery as a place to grow and deliver specialty plants for projects in the Bay Area. After a friend suggested he shop for plants in Oregon to sell in California, he bought two semi-loads and held a plant sale. Now it's a full-time business, along with his sixteen-acre vineyard along Petaluma Hill Road. All his grapes are sold for sparkling wine. Here’s his story.
