History
Murphy Tomatoes began operations in 1948, when founder Oscar P. Murphy selected the first Arkansas and Texas tomatoes available and sold them in the Houston area. His business grew quickly, as well as his family. Today, four generations of Murphys have entered the family business, bringing a sense of loyalty and history to their passion for tomatoes and the produce business.
