Pope jam

Pope jam

Kaye and Owen Pope took a stall at the Nelson market to promote the kitchen manufacturing business they were setting up at their Upper Moutere farm in the 1980s. To make ends meet, they sold home-made raspberry jam at their market stall. Soon they were selling a variety of jams and pickles to supermarkets after customers asked for their Anathoth brand. Eventually they sold Anathoth to Barkers. In 2009, the Popes were selling their new brand – Pope jam – at the Nelson market.

Hi Owen and Jan, I purchased some of your delicious jam at the market in Nelson. The only comment i would like to make on it, is that it runs off my crumpets!!! The flavour is delicious and if it could only be made a bit thicker you would have the worlds perfect jam!!! keep up the hard work! Regards, Lisa :)
