Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Certified Roadside Farm Market Program is
celebrating the beginning of another successful year with 107 members. Certified
Roadside Farm Markets are located across the Commonwealth, from Kuttawa to
Greenup.
In July 1996 the KFB 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 such as 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
Certified Roadside Farm Market members.
The 2012 Certified Roadside Farm
Market Directory is free and available by calling (502) 495-5106 or by e-mailing
roadside@kyfb.com. Consumers will also be able to obtain the directory at any of
the welcome centers, State Resort Parks, local chambers of commerce/tourism
centers, or county Farm Bureau offices.

Certified Roadside Farm Market Members, visit the Roadside Farm Market website
