Step back in time and explore the vibrant world of co-op orange packing plants during the mid-20th century. From Borzhom, Russia, to Redlands, California, witness the transformation of freshly picked oranges into beautifully packaged citrus treats. In the Packaging Department, Sergey Mikhaylovich Prokudin-Gorsky captures the intricate process of packing oranges in the early 1900s. Fast forward to 1943, Jack Delano documents the industrious work at a co-op orange packing plant in Redlands, California. Workers wash, grade, operate machinery, load refrigerator cars, and dry oranges to ensure the highest quality for consumers. Growers bring in their crops, and the cycle continues, all in the name of delivering delicious oranges to markets across the nation.
