## History[edit]

The company was founded by ethnic Serbian born in Croatia's Dalmatia region Stephen Boskovich in 1915, shortly after he purchased land from James Boon Lankershim.[1] Boskovich first grew green onions.[1] The company was inherited by his children, followed by his grandchildren.[1]

The company grows "beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, celery, chard, cilantro, collards, endive, escarole, fennel, green onions, kale, leaf, leeks, parsley, radish, romaine, and spinach; and apples, banana, bell pepper, onion, tomato" in California and Mexico.[2] Since 2012, it has grown organic vegetables.[3] It ships its produce from its facilities in Salinas, California and Yuma, Arizona.[2]
