Kentucky agriculture remains the foundation of our culture: raising/growing nutrient dense food for home and/or market, maintaining strong family ties, respect for property, and a strong work ethic.

Our Mission

…is to connect Kentucky’s “real food” farmers to educated consumers. Real health begins with clean food and a clean planet. As more and more of us wake up to this fact, we see an increase in consumers wanting to leave behind unhealthy practices and jump in with local farmers!

We live in exciting times. Perhaps ESPECIALLY since Covid broke onto the world scene in March 2020. Since then, our real food social media groups and friends — and our food buying club — have seen tremendous growth.

What’s a real food farmer?

By “real food”, we mean NUTRIENT DENSE food raised and/or grown as close to the earth and as naturally as possible.

Real food farming practices include:

• non-GMO or organic feed

• at least soy-free and hopefully corn-free — this is difficult right now because soy & corn free feed is crazy expensive. Consumers realize this and every budget has a ceiling.

• pastured livestock on unsprayed fields

• grass-fed cattle - GRASS-FINISHED IS AWESOME BUT NOT REQUIRED as long as the grain is non-GMO and the cattle continue to live on pasture so the grain is supplemental and the sun is shining on their backs

• pastured milk cows - supplementing with non-GMO grains while milking to keep the cows happy and standing still is a common practice

• unsprayed hay

• organic gardening practices (you do not need to be certified organic but just farm organically)

• regenerative soil practices
