John Clemons, President and Founder
john@sweetfields.com
John was born and raised on the farm in Jamul and has over 20 years of experience as a farmer. His first company, Sunset Farms (www.sunsetfarmsflowers.com),is one of this country’s leading producers of edible flowers and has been since its inception. After years of growing and working with edible flowers, John revolutionized the system for taking them into mass production and enhancing their natural beauty by formulating our patent-pending finishes: SweetCrystal, SweetGlaze, SweetDust, and SweetCustom. The result is picture perfect violas, pansies, snap dragons, mini-roses, and rose petals that keep for years without loosing their natural beauty or edibility. John holds an Associates degree in Aviation Technology from Miramar College and a degree in Computer Science Information Systems from San Diego State University (SDSU). |

Since the inception of Sweetfields, Diane has played an integral part in the innovation of the Sweetfields finishes and application to the flowers.

Chase Johnson, Future CEO
Since Chase made his debut on September 3, 2006, he has truly become the boss at Sweetfields! Every day he works closely with his mom, Shanna, and, on most days, his Grandma Diane so by the time he is 5 he should know the business inside and out. It is very likely that in a short time, he will be roaming the hills at the farm with his Grandpa John and telling everyone what to do. The plan is to groom him to become Sweetfields’ next CEO! |
