The last week of March is Farmworker Awareness Week and it is our joy to bring voice to this incredibly important group of people.
Meet Armando, one of the many skilled and essential farm workers in Washington State.
We find joy in people – from our teammates in the orchards to the families who buy our fruit in the store. Our promise is to nurture, honor, and protect each and every one of them.

My name is Armando Gusto I am from Mexico and 16 years ago I arrived in the United States. When I was little, something came to my mind said, “oh I wanna go there!”
I moved to Washington state. I started driving a forklift in the very beginning and thats how my dreams start in this country. I am really happy at what I do, I love my job and I am very proud. I have challenges, I want to keep learning more things. Theres more chances to become someone and like I said, its a better opportunity to help your family and your kids. It’s a great thing.
