GEBBERS WAY
GEBBERS WAY
Gebbers Farms is family-owned and managed. Family members play a role in the day-to-day operation of the company, and the young generations spend their summers learning the family trade. Now in its second century, Gebbers Farms remains committed to workplace safety, modern farming practices, and excellent customer service to prosper for generations to come. “Grown by Gebbers” means the fruit comes from one of the most trusted growers of high-quality, fresh apples, cherries, and pears!
INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY
At Gebbers Farms, we continuously focus on the development and use of innovative technology. That’s what makes us different. We use technology throughout our operations, but cherries are especially delicate, so they require special technology. Our state-of-the-art cherry processing lines handle the cherries with care from start to finish. The cherries gently float in water (rather than bounce along a conveyor belt) to minimize bruising. A special electronic eye scans each piece of fruit for color uniformity. Gebbers employees oversee this “minimal-handling” production system to guarantee the freshest fruit from harvest to store and every gentle step in between.
FOUR GENERATIONS OF SUSTAINABLE GROWERS
The Gebbers family is committed to environmental, social, and economic sustainability. For four generations, we have seen first-hand the benefits of recycling water, good soil and air quality management, pollinator support, and pest management systems. We engineer the roads to and from our orchards and production stations to reduce water pollution and soil erosion, and industry-leading composting practices minimize waste throughout our operations and replenish the soil. Gebbers Farms is known for being good stewards of this bountiful land, providing its workers with safe conditions and living wages, and supporting local communities.
