EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph transports us back in time to the heart of California's Raisin Industry, circa 1910. The image showcases a group of laborers, likely from the London Layers cooperative based in Fresno, carefully arranging bunches of grapes under the California sun. Fresno and the surrounding area have long been recognized as the world's leading producers of raisins, accounting for approximately 60 percent of the global supply. The United States, and specifically California, dominates the raisin market, supplying around 90 percent of the raisins sold domestically. The raisin-making process begins with grapes that are left to dry in the sun, with the raisins being carefully arranged in layers to ensure even drying and prevent clumping. This traditional method, still used in parts of California's raisin industry, results in the delicious, sun-kissed raisins that have become a staple in American households and beyond. The laborers in this photograph, dressed in simple work clothes and hats, embody the dedication and hard work that has made California's raisin industry a global powerhouse. The image offers a glimpse into the rich history of agriculture in the United States and the vital role that California's raisin industry continues to play in the world's food supply.
