The latest video update from Yakima, Wash.-based Superfresh Growers celebrates the critical role of farmworkers for National Farmworkers Awareness Week, March 25-31.
Claudio Villalobos, farm manager, shares his perspective on agricultural work and discusses how he ensures his team of farmworkers understand their importance to the company.
Viillalobos talks about his experience of being misjudged in the community by running errands in farm clothes.
“I’ve seen it, where as soon as we’re done working, we receive weird looks for wearing dirty shoes,” he said. “They don’t stop and think of the value [the farmworkers] bring … that they can buy apples … and other foods because [of farmworkers].”
