Owen and Kaye Pope bought an over-run farm in the Moutere in the late 1980s.
Rampant raspberries amidst the wilderness
Kaye made some jam, they took it to the Nelson market and things took off.
Local heros, regional success, then national and still using the cheapo plastic pottles that they started out with.
Called it Anathoth (after their farm) and branched out into other varieties. (Their apricot jam is a dream, Nothing better)
They sold part of the business to a group of investors, there was acrimony (I heard the figure of 5m disputed dollars), the brand got sold on to a competitor, they ended up with not much money out of the shamazzle and that was that.
Except that the Popes are back on the Nelson market, selling their original recipe jams in the same old cheapo plastic pottles that they started out with.
Tastes just as good, too

>I would love to have a farm becuse I could have manyanimals and take care of them. Moreover, I think it would be great to go picnic once in a while
>As always I learn a new word/words here. POTTLES – cute JB. I like the cheapo pottles they use. Saves them money I suppose. I love raspberry jam. Box me up some pottles and send them across the pond/ponds.V
>Supposed to read "did they or did they NOT…"
>Help me out, JB. Did they or did they receive the money from the original sale? If so, why are they back where they started?
