Peter Schreurs and Sons purchased, Royston Park in Devon Meadows, which was originally a cattle grazing property that offered free draining, fertile soil with good water sources.

Work began promptly to build a water storage dam, yard for future sheds and about 60 acres of irrigated land.

The first few years were very difficult. In October of 1990 the dam was completed after working through a very wet winter, and there were no significant rain periods for the next summer, so the first crops were grown with almost no water. As history shows, this period was a time of economic recession and with a few crop failures thrown in, the business faced some enormous challenges.

The key to surviving this period was having trading partners that would stand by you, and in 1994 the Peter Schreurs and Sons began to strengthen. Having learnt from the experiences of the last five years enabled the business to then diversify and expand into other vegetable crops.

Many crops have been tried over the years such as tuscan cabbage, baby carrots, baby cabbage and bok choy, some discontinued as they were not viable, or they didn't fit in with crop rotation and work operations.

Leeks became the main crop following success in the interstate and export markets, and so, investment into the machinery to produce leeks more efficiently followed.

In 2000 a further 100 acres of adjoining land was purchased and 2001 saw the construction of our new packing and pressure cooling facility.

Peter Schreurs and Sons now focuses on 7 main crop lines which are, leek, parsnip, kohl rabi, baby endive, baby cos, baby wombok and radicchio
