Bob and Jennie Crum are founding members of the Marlborough Farmers' Market and Farmers' Markets NZ.
Passionate about providing the sweetest tree ripened fruit to their customers, Bob has developed the orchard to grow over the years as the farmers' market has and has chosen varieties of different fruit to ripen over a long period of the warmer months. Their stall can be found at the market early December with the first of the blueberries, joined soon after by the Red Beaut plum. Twenty varieties of plums, 8 varieties of blueberries and different flavoured grapes stretch the season out until baskets of top grade feijoas fill the stall until mid June.
Bob harvests the plums as they ripen, picking each tree every two days to ensure that the flavours we all remember are even better than the old days! Jennie can teach you how to gauge ripeness as you choose her fruit, once you've tasted them at the stall you'll be a convert.
All fruit is Biogro certified organic, Bob and Jennie have been certified for twenty two years and get a lot of pleasure from having customers return again and again to take home a taste of the past.
