Gary Romano has shared vivid tales of farming in the rugged High Sierra at his unique organic farmstead at the headwaters of the Feather River in the Sierra Valley. Now he reveals where it all began - deep in the heart of the bustling, often chaotic, San Francisco Flower Market and the farms that supplied it. Romano’s Italian family was at the very foundation of the Flower Market, alongside other pioneering groups of Italian, Chinese, and Japanese heritage. As he reflects on his childhood, spent alongside his twin brother, Larry, among the sprawling fruit orchards and vibrant farms south of San Francisco, Romano doesn’t just recount memories - he traces the dramatic history in the San Francisco Bay Area, showing how the land, the people, and the hustle shaped everything he became.
