Sun-Maid California Sun-Dried Raisins

Sun-Maid is one of the most recognizable brands globally, famously known for its red canisters and the 'Sun-Maid Girl' icon. Founded over a century ago in the fruitful San Joaquin Valley of California, the brand represents a historic cooperative of family farmers.

While the quintessential raisins are grown and processed in California, the company has expanded its supply chain globally to include various dried fruit snacks. Ownership remains unique as it is a privately held agricultural cooperative, meaning it is owned by the grape growers who provide the fruit, rather than a traditional corporate conglomerate. This structure ensures that the brand maintains deep roots in American agriculture while serving international markets like Spain and Scandinavia, as seen in the multilingual packaging in the image.
