Welcome to our nursery.
We are based on the island of Tholen in Poortvliet.
I am Gert-Jan Franken and I am Judith Franken.
Our nursery is called JGP Franken BV.
My father and mother started here in 1973.
In 2008, I took over the business together with my wife.
The trusses are trimmed down to 5 little tomatoes at the start in order to achieve a uniform truss.
When there is more light, in the season, we go to 6.
Then there will be six tomatoes on a truss.
In theory, the plant can produce 8 to 9 fruits like this per truss.
Only in that case the trusses will not be uniform,
because there will be more smaller tomatoes in between.
The idea is to get them all approximately equal in size.
My favourite tomato dish is tomatoes fried with onions and egg.
I am very keen to hear all about what you can do with our tomatoes.
We are always interested in new recipes!
