Program Introduction for Farmers

Delivery:

Kentucky farmers can make direct sales to the Association and will be responsible for delivering the produce to the closest food bank warehouse. Click here for a map of which regional food bank serves each county. Deliveries to local food distribution agencies may be arranged on a case-by-case basis; contact us at info@kafb.org to inquire about local deliveries.

Farmers are to prepare a detailed invoice including their full name and address, type of produce delivered, unit, price per unit and total due. Click here for a sample invoice.

We are also happy to work with produce auctions, cooperatives, and farmers markets. The auction/cooperative/market managers arrange for the purchase of Kentucky-grown produce from Kentucky farmers and oversee its delivery to food banks.

Pricing:

The 2018 prices for fresh produce will vary depending on weekly market conditions and will be determined as approximately 95% of Kentucky produce auction market prices for U.S. No. 2s as reported on the University of Kentucky’s website: (http://www.uky.edu/ccd/pricereports/KYPA). Prices are to include the cost of packaging and delivery unless other arrangements have been made.
