One of Long Beach’s best known strawberry farmers, Rigoberto Ramirez Sr., died last week after losing his battle with COVID-19, leaving behind a legacy of half a century and heartbreak across the community.
He owned the Ramirez Strawberry Ranch in West Long Beach on Santa Fe Avenue and Arlington Street, a place where people from Long Beach and beyond would buy his sweet strawberries for the past 53 years.
He was the “rock of the family,” said his 52-year-old son, Rigoberto Ramirez Jr., who is feeling “extremely heavy” grieving his father’s death.
“It’s kind of life changing,” he said.
