The University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service Nutrition Education Program has worked with the Kentucky Department of Agriculture Farm to School Program to produce the Kentucky Farm to School Hub. This is a free statewide website designed to help farmers and school food purchasers find one another and coordinate the production of local food with school menu needs, so more Kentucky food makes its way to the plates of Kentucky schoolchildren.
The Kentucky Farm to School Hub provides a host of practical “how to” resources for both producers and school food purchasers. These resources include videos detailing the hub registration process for producers and school food purchasers curated and produced during the spring of 2022 by the Nutrition Education Program Marketing and Media Program Coordinator. Both videos are only a few minutes long but describe the registration process and guide folks through, step by step. The media is intended to market the Kentucky Farm to School Hub resources and make the registration processes more accessible. Discover the videos here:
