Two Bulloch County farms were selected recently to receive the prestigious Centennial Family Farm Award given annually by the Georgia Department of Natural Resources. On Friday, the J. Leahmon Akins farm and the Garfield Hall farm will be recognized as farms that have been owned by members of the same family for 100 years or more that are not listed in the National Register of Historic Places. The award was established in 1993, and 359 farms across the state have been recognized since that time.
