Marley loves farming life.

Harvest the Fleurieu Market Hall and Strawberry Farm in Mt Compass. has a very special staff member, Marley the 3 1/2 year old Golden Retriever.

Right from the time she arrived from McLaren Flat as a puppy Marley took to farming life straight away.

Marley’s owners Allis and Ryan Sherry are part of the family team at Harvest the Fleurieu.

Ryan works out on the farm and Allis works in the Market Hall/ Cafe.

Marley loves to spend her day working out on the farm with Ryan on the tractor whist he plants, prunes and harvests.

Other times she spends time in the Market Hall/Cafe with Allis.

Marley is the team leader for customer relations in the Market Hall and loves being admired and receiving pats from her customers.

She also patrols the Strawberry patches and has been known to sample these tasty  treats.

Marley loves playing in water and mud, the muddier the better. She often potters down the creek for a bit of a play and loves long walks in Kuipto Forest or at the dog friendly beach at Aldinga with her two brothers who are also owned by members of the Sherry family.

Marlee also likes to play ball but is still working on the retrieving part of the game.

At home Marley helps mind Allis and Ryan’s two year old daughter. 

Marley absolutely loves this role and has all the patience in the world.

She keeps up her good looks with a monthly grooming appointment at Pets a Plenty in McLaren Vale and her special treat is bacon which she can sniff it out for miles.

Marley’s birthday party is an annual event at Harvest the Fleurieu.  Her last birthday party consisted of 15 dog related stalls displaying dog treats, dog accessories, grooming gear etc.  She even had a special locally made puppy cake to enjoy on the day.

Marley is turning 4  March 2020 and Allis is planning another doozy of a birthday party for her special workmate. All of Marley’s treasured Harvest Fleurieu customers will be very welcome to join the celebration.

If you are passing by Harvest the Fleurieu in Mt compass, you will often see Marley this special Golden Retriever going about her daily business.
