- 2014
In October 2014, the Gebbers family and the entire farming industry lost a true innovator and friend when Danny Gebbers passed away following complications suffered from a fall he took during the 2014 wildfires. A fascinating and hard working man, Danny learned about all facets of the orchard business from his parents, John and Martha. Some of his notable work included planting the first commercial Lapin cherry orchards in Washington and setting a new precedent in late season cherries.
Danny’s legacy of creativity, integrity, respect for the land, and innovative growing techniques lives on in his children, grandkids and employees of whom he invested so heavily of his time and talents.
