Our Story

ORGANIC FARMING – IT’S IN OUR ROOTS

Named after legendary naturalist John Muir, Muir Glen® was founded in 1991 by a group of entrepreneurs with extensive experience in agriculture and the tomato industry.

Since our company’s founding over a decade ago, we’ve been committed to helping our farmers choose to grow tomatoes organically. All of Muir Glen’s tomatoes are field grown and vine ripened under certified organic practices — no synthetic pesticides, no chemical fertilizers, just gorgeous tomato taste, true to nature. Taste Muir Glen and we know you’ll agree, the great care we take in processing our tomatoes shows in our products’ spectacular flavor.

From California’s San Joaquin Valley, the heart of the country’s prime tomato growing region, we bring you our line of premium quality organic tomato products.

A COMMITMENT TO QUALITY ORGANIC TOMATOES

Muir Glen growers’ certified organic farming methods create healthy, nutrient-rich soil. Our products are all certified organic and bear the USDA Organic seal. We harvest our tomatoes in late summer at their peak of ripeness and deliver them to the processing facility. The tomatoes go from field to can in 8 hours or less. Our tomatoes are packaged without synthetic chemical additives of any kind. Our processing equipment is triple-washed to guarantee no cleaning agents are present.

THE ONLY CANNED FIRE-ROASTED TOMATOES

We take extra care to grill our highest-quality tomatoes over an open flame to bring out their natural sweetness and add a subtle smokiness. This unique process sears in the mouth-watering flavour of fire-roasted goodness.

With such bold, fire-roasted flavour, you’ll be tempted to double the recipe.

BRINGING MUIR GLEN’S EXCELLENCE TO CANADA

We’ve just reintroduced our premium products in the fall of 2015 due to popular demand. We use only field-grown, vine-ripened tomatoes, and adhere to certified organic standards to produce a superior tomato taste, available in Canada.
