The 2019 City to Farm Tour was held on September 17, 2019 with well over 70 local business leaders and Pulaski County Chamber of Commerce members in attendance. 

     Extension partnered with the Somerset-Pulaski Co Chamber of Commerce to plan the event. The event helps educate our community about the changes that have occurred in agriculture over the past decades. This behind-the-scenes look at local agriculture allowed community leaders the opportunity to meet the hard-working farmers and producers who keep the heritage of agriculture alive and viable in Pulaski County. 

     This event not only gives those that are not involved in the day to day operations a chance to ask question but it also gives the farmer the opportunity to talk about the business side of their industry. 

     Five Pulaski County locations were toured. The first stop was the Kentucky Nutrition Service. They next visited an agri-tourism venue Bear Wallow Farm. The third stop was to Twin Oak Acres who have a growing sweet potato business.

     The next tour stop was a Haney's Appledale Farm, a local orchard. The last stop was also where the meal was held.  Burnett Farms is a diversified horticulture and row crop farm.  They were the host for the meal which was sourced 100% from Pulaski County and Kentucky Proud foods.

      This City to Farm Tour is a recurring event that happens every second year. It's a great way to showcase some of the great farming businesses in Pulaski County and in turn, market their products to the non-farming community.
