In 1986, Golden State Bulb Growers moved its main offices, warehouses, and greenhouses from Capitola to just outside of Watsonville. The fourth generation of the family now operates the bulb business. Nolan Brown heads the shipping department, Worth C. Brown (grandson of Worth A. Brown) has office responsibilities, and Justin Brown oversees the growing of the crops on nine separate ranches throughout California and Baja, Mexico. Justin supervises the production of 26 crops on over 1,000 acres, with the largest portion of the land being devoted to colored Calla lilies.
The Brown family continues its presence in Capitola with a shopping center built on the old ranch property. Brown Ranch Marketplace is located next to the Capitola Mall, which itself is on land that was previously part of the Brown Ranch.
