The Dutch couple built it up from scratch but now their life's work and that of their family is being sold.
From jam making to thriving farm shops, what began as an apple farm grew to include jam making with more than 200 outlets for their home made jam and farm shops.
The Neutebooms kept it in the family and their daughter Kathy, together with Jeremy Linsell, were valuable members of the team.
Only two years ago the couple managed to raise a £50,000 start up loan from the department of Trade and Industry.
