It is the industry's largest family-owned and family-managed distributorship{{cn|date=May 2016}} and is based in Lewiston, Maine. Initially named Geiger Brothers, it was founded in Newark, New Jersey in 1878 spanning 5 generations. [2] HistoryThe company was founded in 1878, when brothers Andrew and Jacob Geiger took over their father’s two-room print shop in Newark, New Jersey. A staff of 4 -- the brothers, a printer, and a bookkeeper—produced a small line that included advertising calendars, fans, and greeting cards. The second generation brothers, Frank, Charles, and George entered the company in the early 20th century. They added date books and diaries to their expanding line. Frank’s two sons, Ray and Frank, joined the business in the 1930s. Frank led the firm into the distribution of advertising specialty products made by other companies. Ray acquired the renowned Farmers’ Almanac becoming its 6th editor for the next 60 years. The company moved to Lewiston, Maine in 1955. Their facility has been expanded four times and is currently 140,000 square feet. Two of Ray’s sons manage the company today. Gene is CEO and President and Peter Geiger is Executive Vice President and editor of the Farmers’ Almanac On March 6 2013, Geiger agreed to divest its manufactured products division to Canada based Blueline. [3] Farmers' AlmanacThe Farmers' Almanac is a compendium of knowledge on weather, gardening, cooking, remedies, managing your household, preserving the earth, and more. Published every year since 1818, it was founded by David Young, Philom. In 1949, Ray and Ann Geiger obtain the rights to Almanac Publishing Company/Farmers’ Almanac.
