Growing high quality crops existed for three generations in the family
of Cornelius Antonius Dames who continued as a horticultural
farmer.
Arriving from Beverwijk, Holland he brought with him his adopted skills
as an expert bloom grower but soon applied his growing excellence to a
new farming type.
Early in 1950 he began growing pip and stone fruits in a richly fertile
land belt between
Hastings
and
Havelock North, New Zealand.
It is our privilege to continue working with the company which today
farms over several locations and grows apples, pears, peaches and
nectarines on the alluvial soils of the
Hawkes Bay Fruit Bowl.
