A FAMILY AFFAIR

When harvest season rolls around on the Gilbert Farm, it requires the effort of the entire family. Pictured above are cousins from three separate families working with their uncle during mint harvest.

GENERATION TO GENERATION

A father who grew up working on the Gilbert Family Farm holds his daughter in front of one of the farm's orchard tractors.

THE OLD GAS PUMP

Being that the nearest gas station is 10-15 miles away, the Gilbert Family has their own gas pump on their farm and buys their gas supply in bulk from Cenex.

CONTROLLING THE FLOW OF WATER

This is one of many pumps on the Gilbert Farm that help control the flow of pressurized water out to their crops.

PREPPING AND CARING FOR THE SOIL

This disk is used to help care for and prep the soil.

WASHINGTON APPLES

A red delicious apple tree on the Gilbert Farm. These trees are older and more mature and will probably be pulled out in a few years.

LEAN MEAN MINT CUTTING MACHING

This is a picture of a swather. The swather is used to cut the mint and put the mint into rows. This allows the mint to dry out and prep itself for the mint chopper.
