The entrance to "home" for several farmworkers and their families during the picking season.
"Tiny rooms with bare wood floors lit by single light bulbs. Hotplates and tumbledown fridges, cooking odors heavy in the air, mingling with the sweet smell of raspberries heavy on the vines in the twilight outside. Dirt and filth, and farmworkers too tired , too scared, too poor to do anything about it. For those rooms they were charged the equivalent of $600 a month. All of them; all 38 East Indian farmworkers who slept in this converted barn at night while picking berries during the day. The owner of the farm said he supplied the rooms as an act of "mercy" because the workers had nowhere else to go." - Reporter Rick Ouston in the Vancouver Sun, April 30, 1982
