01
Artifact Overview
Orange growers and packers in Riverside, California, joined forces to launch the Riverside Fruit Exchange in 1893. The exchange marketed navel oranges, which were raised in semi-arid conditions. Irrigation systems like this one sustained groves and ensured a steady supply of the sweet, seedless fruit consumers craved. At harvest time, workers hand-picked and packed the oranges for sale through the exchange.
