Farmers Work with Local Food Banks to Feed Kentuckians Summer Produce

Ky. – Many Kentucky farmers are participating in a statewide program that channels produce to local food banks.

Ky. farmers needed for Farms to Food Banks Program
LEXINGTON, Ky. – As the 2019 growing season in Kentucky kicks off, Feeding Kentucky is calling all Kentucky farmers to participate in the Farms to Food Banks program.
The successful Farms to Food Banks program, entering its 9th year, works to reduce food waste by rescuing cosmetically blemished produce and distributing it to Kentuckians at risk of hunger. It covers a farmer’s cost of picking, packing and transporting produce from the field to a food bank.
