New introductions and remarkable varieties receive special attention in the demo fields. For both the fresh market and the processing industry, new varieties in carrots - one of the most important crops of Bakker Brothers and specialties, are available. Including the Marlin variety, a fast grower with about 95 growth days. It can be used for fresh packaging. It has few green heads, a deep intense red-orange color and is strong against growth doors.
In the range of strong bean varieties for the processing industry, bakker brothers added a number of new varieties. Two important varieties are Caledonia and Elba, which guarantee a high percentage of very fine, nicely grouped beans (6.5 - 8 mm) with excellent quality. Both can be sowed under difficult conditions and have a good return. For the Òne beans (8 - 9 mm) the very early variety Tempo (90 days) is recommended. This bean has excellent results and produces quality pulses with a beautiful uniform color. In the fine segment, the Saba and Lavezzi varieties are winners for the fresh market as well as for industry. Both varieties have a good potential return and are real all-rounders.
90 Years ago, in 1928, the company Gebroeders Bakker Zaadteelt en Zaadhandel, was started by two pioneering brothers. This year we are celebrating the vision, development and success of this venture. We dived into the past and found some historical pictures and relics of those days gone by. A small photo presentation will be part of our open days for your interest and to let you in on the celebration.
