THE FARM
The owners started working the farm 45 years ago, originally a stone fruit farm including peaches. About 8 years ago, they decided to cultivate custard apples, specifically the KJ Pink variety. The transition seems to have been a wise decision for the owners, not only economically, also a strategic move for the long-term sustainability of the farm.
Custard apples, known for their unique taste and high demand in certain markets, can indeed be more profitable and manageable for a smaller operation run by a couple.
By focusing on a crop that provides higher returns and is easier to maintain, the owners anticipate the continued success of their business.
There's potential to further expand the productive farm of 700 trees with ample space for extra planting of custard apples or other fruits, with fertile soil and a frost free conditions, various options are available.
