A year ago, I wrote - Time Flies “Bowman family awarded
annual Ag Center Pioneer Award” by Kevin Dayhoff February 24, 2017
Romantic that I am, I took my wife out on Valentine's Day,
Feb. 14, to the annual Carroll County Agriculture Center dinner. Since 1993,
the annual dinner has been used as an opportunity to honor individuals and
businesses with the "Pioneer Award," in recognition for longstanding
service to the Carroll County agriculture community and the Agriculture Center,
This year's award went to the R.D. Bowman family, which has
been a cornerstone of the agricultural community through the family businesses
that date back to 1928. Dirk Bowman and his wife Julie attended the dinner to
receive the award on behalf of the family.
Dirk, his brother Dale, and his sister Dawn DeVivo are the
third-generation owners of the Westminster feed sales business, R.D. Bowman
& Sons Inc., and the Home & Garden Center, which opened in 1981.
According to a March 24, 1993 article in The Baltimore Sun
by writers Ellie Baublitz and Tom Keyser, "In 1928, Ralph Dutterer Bowman
bought a little country grocery store in Union Mills on a dirt road that is now
Route 97, or Littlestown Pike. He operated the store for more than 30 years,
during which time the big event was the Friday night banana auction.
