100 Years of Boswell

In 2015, the J. G. Boswell Company added something new to the mix: pistachios. The decision was made to transition 15 percent of its productive land to a permanent high-value crop, pistachios, over the coming ten years. Pistachios would maximize the value of a limited supply of water and mark a new and exciting chapter of the company’s history.

In 2021, the J. G. Boswell Company sold Auscott, its long-standing Australian cotton business. This move was part of a bigger plan to shift focus back to its core operations in California.

Since then, the company has continued to evolve. This is the heart of J. G. Boswell’s legacy: growth, innovation, and adaptability, all with integrity, while serving—and protecting—the land and its natural resources. Every bold move over the last one hundred years has brought new challenges and opportunities, shaping its path forward. With a century of experience to learn from, the J. G. Boswell Company is ready to move forward, staying true to this legacy while looking ahead to the future.
