J.G. Boswell Company, headquartered in Pasadena, California, was founded in 1925.
The company produces, processes, and markets crops including pima cotton, processing tomatoes for paste, and seed crops, along with livestock operations in Central California. Its programs emphasize integrity, premium quality, and teams that focus on practical, sustainable production methods for customers worldwide.
For brix targets, color, typical pack sizes, and the documentation QA teams expect on tomato paste programs, read Tomato paste specifications for industrial buyers.


Boswell tomatoes are graded and processed under strict field and plant controls.
If you need dependable recipe performance, traceability you can document, and steady supply from a single grower-processor, Boswell tomato paste is built for that work. Boswell focuses on consistent brix, color, and flavor so sauces, soups, and bases stay on target from lot to lot.
Because the J.G. Boswell Company grows much of its own crop and runs its own plants, customers work with the same operator behind the field program and the processing lines. From growing and processing through packaging and scheduling, agronomy, food safety, and logistics line up around specifications for premium paste.


Boswell is the only tomato company in the USA that maintains complete control of the tomatoes from the seed to the field and through the processing factory to the customers’ doors.
This is made possible by the fact that Boswell is closer to the field than any other tomato processor. They are committed to having “a foot in the field every day,” and harvest and supply records tie tomatoes back to the 5-foot section of the field they came from.
By not having to source tomatoes from outside growers, Boswell strictly controls the quality of tomatoes that are transported to their two facilities. They are located 65 miles from each other and are on or in close proximity to Boswell’s tomato fields. This strategic advantage allows Boswell to process its tomatoes in less than four hours of harvest to provide the industry’s highest-quality tomato paste.
Premium Boswell tomato paste reflects agronomists, plant operators, and food safety staff who manage soil health, water use, and harvest timing across long-term California acreage.
Lots are checked against internal standards for nutrition, flavor, and appearance before release, which keeps paste quality steady for sauce, soup, and industrial formulations.
