Dried fruits and less-perishable varieties of citrus had been sent east for decades, but Sunshine Gatherers promotes the canning of delicate fruits like apricots and peaches that had previously been consumed out of season in the Northeast only after the expensive luxury of shipment in refrigerated trains. Now California’s sunshine would be packaged for the nation year-round.
