Giusti has deep roots here. His family farmed the land as early as the 1930s, and Giusti went on to help popularize local fare such as artichokes and Brussels sprouts with creative recipes he shared at the Half Moon Art and Pumpkin Festival and other venues. With a passion for baseball, he also helped introduce the Half Moon Bay Little League team. Now in his 80s, Giusti remains an active and vibrant member of the community.
