KFB Certified Farm Markets open for the season across the region
LEXINGTON, Ky. (WTVQ) – Spring is finally here, which means the beginning of the season for many local farm markets.
This year, there are 108 markets across the Commonwealth accepted into the 2021 Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Certified Farm Market Program.
In joining the KFB Certified Farm Market Program, these markets have committed to offering quality products and service to their customers. Acceptance by Farm Bureau tells customers these markets meet the highest standards of quality, freshness, and marketing appeal.
“While the past year has been difficult on many levels due to the pandemic, we did see heightened awareness in locally produced foods as more and more consumers turned to their nearby KFB Certified Farm Markets to experience the goodness of fresh, homegrown products,” KFB President Mark Haney said. “We look forward to continuing that trend in 2021 as this program grows and continues to benefit our market members, as well as all of their customers.”
Markets certified through this program are identified by the KFB Certified Farm Market logo and listed in their online directory. The program also provides collective advertising, promotional items, educational tour opportunities, and other marketing benefits with the intent to increase the net farm income of member markets.
