Greg Evers is a member of the Florida House of Representatives and is currently a candidate for Florida Senate District 2, a Senate seat currently held by Senator Durrell Peaden of Crestview, Florida.
Evers is the eldest child of John Robert and Jequita Evers. He grew up in the farming community of Munson, Florida, where he worked on the family farm alongside his father and brother Eric and sister Kay. Greg graduated from Jay High School in 1973 and then attended Pensacola Junior College. In early 1975, his family opened Baker Farm Center, a farm supply, fertilize and feed store in Baker, Florida. By 1985, Evers purchased Baker Farm Center from his parents and he continues to operate it today.
In addition to the Baker Farm Center, Evers has continuously operated Greg Evers Farms in Santa Rosa and Okaloosa Counties, growing primarily peanuts, cotton, wheat and soybeans. He also grows strawberries and sells them at his U-Pick strawberry farm, Akers of Strawberries, located in Baker.
In mid-2001, Evers won a special election to fill the seat being vacated by Congressman Jeff Miller as a member of the Florida House of Representatives, District 1.
Greg has three children, Stephanie Barlow of Milton, Jennifer Evers of Orlando and Rob Evers of Baker. He has two grandchildren, Alli Barlow and Rex Evers Wallace.
