Jenny and Dave met in 2002 while the two were working for the same company — albeit in different states. Jenny was in Orlando while Dave was from Denver.
The two were in a long-distance relationship until Dave gave up his corporate life to build homes.
Dave decided Bentonville was the perfect place to start his new career. Jenny told him she’d give Arkansas a try for a few years as well.
“We were just going to be here for a couple of years and go back to Florida. I think, like a lot of people do here, we came for a stint and realized how great a place it is. This is home,” Jenny said.
2) Jenny used to be Dave's "sugar mama"
In 2004, the Fixer to Fabulous stars moved to Arkansas and Dave founded his own construction company, Marrs Developing. Jenny didn't quit her job in marketing and sales, although she helped Dave with design ideas whenever she could.
"We were broke, and I had a real job. He was just starting, so I was the 'sugar mama,'" Jenny jokingly said.
Eight years after the company's launch, Jenny gave up her corporate life to join Dave full-time.

The Marrs' family lives on a renovated 1906 farm along with many pets, including dogs, cats, sheep, goats, donkeys and more.
5) They started a blueberry farm to help kids in Zimbabwe
Jenny and Dave own a berry farm named The Berry Farm. The farm isn't just a place for fresh berry picking and special events. The Fixer to Fabulous couple started the farm for something noble.
