Major Program: Local Food Systems
Increasing access to local food and improving farm profitability are essential goals for our community. In partnership with SOKY Marketplace, Warren County Local Government, Farmers, the Housing Authority, and the UK Cooperative Extension Service are working toward improving access and farm profitability. We found in a study that people didn’t attend the farmers' market because the hours were not convenient, or they didn’t have time to shop at the Farmers market. &nb
