Gebbers

Gebbers Farms is a family-owned and managed agricultural producer based in Brewster, Washington, in the United States. The company grows, packs, and markets fresh apples, sweet cherries, and pears, with orchards located at the base of Washington state's Cascade Range. According to its official website, Gebbers Farms has become one of the most trusted and top apple growers in the northwestern U.S. and the largest provider of cherries in the world, attributing this position to quality and freshness. The operation spans many thousands of acres of engineered orchard, including what it describes as one of the biggest contiguous apple orchards in the world. Its growing seasons feature cooler days and crisp nights, conditions ideal for fragile fruit such as apples, cherries, and pears. The company states that it is the largest supplier of late-season sweet cherries, emphasizing quality, freshness, and taste. The Gebbers family has practiced the art of freshness for well over a century, and the business remains 100% family owned and managed. The brand's roots trace to Dan Gamble, who arrived in Washington State in 1885 and later established orchards and packing operations in the Brewster area. Today, Gebbers Farms operates as a vertically integrated grower, packer, and marketer of premium fresh fruit, serving domestic and international markets.

The history of Gebbers Farms, as presented on its official website, begins with Dan Gamble, who arrived with his backpack at the Harts Pass area in Washington State in 1885, having walked from Nova Scotia for the beginning of the upper Methow gold rush. He later chased the silver boom at Ruby in the Okanogan Valley. In 1894, he established a saw mill at the mouth of Cactus Canyon near Brewster, where he caught and milled driftwood out of the river. He followed this venture with the establishment of the Gamble Hotel and steamboat landing on the banks of the Columbia River. In 1889, Dan Gamble planted his first apple orchard in Brewster. In 1910, he incorporated Gamble Lumber Company and a second saw mill located on Paradise Hill, with a large part of the production being wooden apple boxes. He built his first apple packing shed in Brewster in 1918. Martha Gamble Gebbers was the first baby girl born in the area, linking the Gamble and Gebbers families. Over the following century, the Gebbers family continued to develop orchards and packing operations, growing the business into a major fruit producer. The company states that it has become one of the most trusted and top apple growers in the northwestern U.S. and the largest provider of cherries in the world, with many thousands of acres of engineered orchard strategically located high up at the base of Washington state's Cascade Range. The growing seasons offer cooler days and crisp nights, ideal for growing fragile fruit like apples, cherries, and pears. Gebbers Farms proudly tends and constantly improves one of the biggest contiguous apple orchards in the world and has become the largest supplier of late-season sweet cherries. The business remains 100% family owned and managed.
