FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
LOUISVILLE, KY, April 10, 2008: Eighty two members have enrolled in the 2008 Kentucky Farm Bureau Certified Roadside Farm Market Program. These markets cover the Commonwealth from Paducah to Louisa.
In July 1996 the Kentucky Farm Bureau Certified Roadside Farm Market program was organized to help farmers market their fruits and vegetables directly from roadside markets to consumers across Kentucky. Since then, it has expanded to include farm enterprises like greenhouses, landscape nurseries, Christmas tree farms, vineyards/wineries, and meat/cheese farm markets.
Markets certified through this program are identified by the cornucopia logo and are listed in the Certified Roadside Farm Market Directory. The program provides collective advertising, promotional items, educational tour opportunities, and other marketing benefits with the intent to increase the net farm income of our members.
The 2008 Certified Roadside Farm Market Directory will be available at the beginning of April. The directory comes complete with a map and Kentucky produce harvest calendar. It is free and available by calling (502) 495-5000 ext.7226, emailing roadside@kyfb.com , or by visiting any of the Interstate rest areas, State Parks, visitor’s centers or county Farm Bureau offices.
