Congratulations to Landmarks members Don and Jerreann Oliver for being recognized as a Georgia Centennial Farm!
Jerreann’s family’s farm, known as the E.P. Groover Place, has been in her family since 1853. Theirs was one of two farms in Thomas County recognized this year. The other is Fielding Farms.

The Centennial Farm Program is administered by: the Historic Preservation Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources; Georgia Farm Bureau Federation; Georgia Department of Agriculture; Georgia Forestry Commission; and the Georgia National Fairgrounds and Agricenter.
Each year, qualifying farms are recognized at the opening day of the Georgia National Fair in Perry, Georgia. During the awards luncheon, farm owners receive a Georgia Centennial Farm certificate of honor signed by the governor. More information is available at http://georgiashpo.org.
