Pacific Fruit Express: Advertising, Agriculture Art

"In forgotten packing houses and produce sheds throughout California, only a few still survive -- messengers, once born on crates of wood, filled with fruit and the abundance of California. Once thought of as disposable art, Fruit Crate Labels profoundly shaped America and the world's perception, of a near mythic place of plenty called California. Today they stand out as priceless and colorful icons of our past. In this special Heartland, Documentary Producers Kit Tyler and Miles Saunders (Art of the Gold Rush) weave art, music and social history into a stunning tribute to an agricultural art form born right here in the Golden State."
