Bayside Canning Company was a large cannery in Alviso, California, starting as a tomato cannery, but eventually specializing in asparagus. The company was founded by Thomas Foon Chew, who had taken control from the Precita Canning Company (San Francisco) run by his father until the 1906 Earthquake and Fire. Thomas died in 1931; the cannery closed in 1936. At one point, this was declared the third largest cannery in the world.
