Potatoes have been a long-standing tradition of the Fox family since the 1800's and are still the #1 product of Northern Maine farmers. In the late 90's, Rhett Fox, creator of Fox Family Potato Chips, began experimenting with handmade potato chips using Maine Russet potatoes, first in his home kitchen and then in his store. He used his meat slicer to slice the potatoes just the way he liked them. He fried them by hand in a combination of canola and corn oil until they were the color he liked. He started out very small and was unable to supply the demand, but Fox had a dream. With encouragement from his father, he was determined to build a successful chip company. In 2013, Wayne and Gregg Garrison partnered with Rhett to form Trinity Chips, LLC. Wayne and Gregg own Double G Farms and supply the potatoes for Fox Family Potato Chips, it is a true family business.
Double G Farms is located in Blaine, Maine. The farm was started in the 1960's by Wayne and his wife Jackie. After graduating college in 1988, Gregg joined his father and the two began working side by side on their family farm. What started out as a small business has now grown into a 1,700 acre operation that grows four different varieties of potatoes as well as a rotating grain crop. Double G Farms strives to grow the best potatoes they can to meet the demand of a high quality potato chip that is produced by Fox Family Potato Chips.
Fox Family Potato Chips are still made by hand, only ever using 100% Maine potatoes.
