Over the last two decades, the Madron business has become synonymous with a hands-on commitment to premium produce, delivering on time, with the wellbeing of the land and the livelihoods of the surrounding communities in mind.
The Madron story started on a small piece of rented land in the Hemel and Aarde Valley, Hermanus in 1999. From the very first, hand-planted lettuce seedlings, Brent and Sandy Jenkin knew that they were not just starting a farm, they were writing the first chapter of a legacy.

From the beginning, Madron has been rooted in old-school family values – the name Madron is taken from the quaint rural village in Cornwall in England where the Jenkin family originally comes from.
