Worth knowing in Fresno
The Central Valley grows a large share of the country's grapes, stone fruit, citrus and nuts, and cartons are bought and stored months ahead of each harvest. Table grape and stone fruit packers use shallow trays and telescope cartons; raisin and nut handlers use bulk bins and heavy boxes. Summer heat is severe: store flats in shade and keep them dry, or they become brittle before the pick begins.
