The Brewster-based Gebbers Farms was founded in the late 1800s and largely produces apples and cherries.
BREWSTER, WA — The State Department of Labor & Industries says their investigation into the deaths of two employees at a central Washington farm uncovered dozens of safety and health violations.
After compiling their findings, L&I have issued Gebbers Farm Operations, LP in Brewster more than $2 million in fines. Investigators say it's one of the largest workplace safety fines in state history.
“Gebbers made it very apparent to investigators they had no intention of following the rules as written regarding temporary agricultural worker housing and transportation,” said L&I Director Joel Sacks.
