The California Growers Association was a grower's cooperative canner in Southern California. The cannery processed fruit including apricots[1].
The cooperative started in Ontario in 1915, opened a branch in Hemet the next year, and followed with canneries in Falbrook, Elsinore, and Riverside in 1919[2]. Vernon Campbell, a strong proponent of cooperatives, was one of the organizers.
In the hearings over changing the packer's consent decree, a letter from Edmund Nutting Richmond characterized Campbell as "a promoter 100 per cent efficient"[3], complaining the California Grower's Association had been a failure. Campbell, in the hearing, declared that the cooperatives were doing well now, but the first couple years had been harsh. 1915 was a hard year for peaches and apricots -peaches ripened without demand, but bought as fruit falling from trees.
