California Navel Oranges

Meet a family growing oranges for the long haul in California’s Central Valley. The Gillette family began farming oranges in Southern California, which at one time was the heart of the citrus industry. But that began to change after World War II, with many growers moving north to the San Joaquin Valley where they found rich soil.
