FARM FAMILY HONORED — The Wayne and Gregg Garrison family of Blaine was honored last Friday night as the Maine Potato Board’s 2013 Farm Family of the Year. In 1965,
Gregg’s parents, Wayne and the late Jackie Garrison, purchased their homestead and 30 acres, which has grown into Double G Farms, Inc, the 1,500-acre agri-business Wayne and Gregg run today. Double G Farms plants 650 acres of potatoes, 650 acres of oats and barley, and 200 acres in a clover/grass cover crop. Here, Gov. Paul LePage, right, congratulates Wayne as Gregg looks on. A story and more photos will appear in an upcoming issue of The Star-Herald.
