'''Sherriffs Brothers''' was a Healdsburg-based dried fruit packer run by Charles Sherriffs. The plant was described as a "large plant in an extremely good location for the purpose and an important prune location", and had receiving stations in Santa Rosa, Napa, Geyserville, and Healdsburg<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=cFVRAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA1&ots=HrxW9YQ8gq&dq=%22Sherriffs%20Brothers%22%20healdsburg&pg=PA2#v=onepage&q=%22Sherriffs%20Brothers%22%20healdsburg&f=false March 25, 1922 California Fruit News].</ref>.

In 1918, the company expected to pack 3,000 tons of prunes<ref>California Dried Fruit Packing Houses: [http://books.google.com/books?id=BxQdAQAAMAAJ&lpg=RA2-PA13&ots=ik4galpHfv&dq=%22Sherriffs%20Brothers%22%20healdsburg&pg=RA2-PA13#v=onepage&q=%22Sherriffs%20Brothers%22%20healdsburg&f=false July 1918 Western Canner and Packer]</ref>.

The packing house was bought by the [[California Prune and Apricot Growers]] in 1922<ref>[http://books.google.com/books?id=cFVRAAAAYAAJ&lpg=PA1&ots=HrxW9YQ8gq&dq=%22Sherriffs%20Brothers%22%20healdsburg&pg=PA2#v=onepage&q=%22Sherriffs%20Brothers%22%20healdsburg&f=false March 25, 1922 California Fruit News].</ref> Charles Sherriffs was going to continue as superintendent, and Sunsweet planned to expand the plant. The Dry Creek area near Healdsburg would have been promising for Sunsweet as vineyards were replaced by orchards during prohibition<ref name="gilbert">Gilbert, Nan (2003).
