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 over his father's San Francisco-based Precita Canning Company. Bayside hired exclusively Chinese and Chinese-American workers through the 1920's[1] Walter M. Field & Company was the distributor for the company in 1922. Thomas died in 1931; the cannery closed in 1936.
