Andy Cole: Owner & Co-Founder- Valerie Cole: Owner & Co-Founder
Andy’s Agway, located at Cole Farm on River Road in Dayton, is in a huge barn that was built in 1903. The property has been in Andy’s family since the 1880s, and the Cole family has supplied the Biddeford area with firewood, ice, vegetables, hay, and dairy products since the late 1920s. Although the cows are gone, the fields continue to produce hay
and the barn now houses the Agway store.Andy grew up haying and caring for dairy cows, then attended UMO, studied Agricultural Engineering, and started working for Agway when he graduated from college. Valerie spent her youth showing horses, attended UNH and studied Animal Science. They met in the Dover, NH Agway and bought the former Suburban Agway of Westbrook ME in 1994. In 1999, they renovated the dairy barn and moved the store to Dayton.
