Gustavo Martinez

2nd generation farmer
Reiter Berry Farms, Inc.
Oxnard, California

“I love to plant berries and watch them grow.”

Gustavo farms 180 acres of conventional red and golden raspberries for Driscoll’s. He believes there is no better berry company in the world.

He has worked for the company since 2004. Before that, he worked as a maintenance worker for 10 years, and then as a crew leader on a Reiter farm.

Gustavo was born in Oaxaca, Mexico, where they farmed beans and corn on the family land. In 1998, he immigrated to the United States. He and his wife Concepcion have been married for 20 years and have two teenage boys.

When he is not working in his fields, he loves to shop for clothes!
