Muir Glen Organic

Beginning in 1991 as a small tomato-growing operation in central California, Muir Glen Organic grew to become the first large-scale organically certified tomato farm. Remaining an independently operating unit, they joined Small Planet Foods and the General Mills family in 2001. They are proud to continue sourcing and processing all their tomatoes locally in the San Joaquin Valley. In the experienced hands of their teams and their custom-built organic cannery, tomatoes go from vine to BPA-free can in just eight hours for unparalleled freshness and flavor.

Muir Glen Organic is committed to supporting sustainable agriculture, food security, and their home communities. This takes all kinds of forms, from providing healthcare and retirement benefits to all employees to planting miles of hedgerows that support pollinator habitat and healthy fields. They're working towards spreading their pollinator initiatives across every Muir Glen farm in the next four years. They also contributed to building a state-of-the-art communal composting facility, where local farmers, the Muir Glen cannery, and even the local U.C. Davis farm could put in their organic waste and receive rich, organic fertilizer. Building a healthy, robust ecosystem from roots to bees and blossoms—no wonder those tomatoes are so delicious.
