2 EVENTSGilbert Orchards, Inc., a family-owned Yakima Valley fruit grower, announced it will end employment for 518 employees effective Nov. 22 as the harvest season concludes, according to its WARN filing. The affected roles are almost exclusively general field labor positions tied to seasonal harvesting. The company characterized the reductions as routine and cyclical because of the seasonal nature of its operations. Gilbert Orchards has operated since 1897 and sells fruit through Washington Fruit Growers; the move follows normal post-harvest workforce adjustments rather than a restructuring for financial distress.
