Description
The Kentucky Proud Farm to Fork Program, administered by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA), partners with local organizations to increase awareness of Kentucky Proud foods while benefiting a charity in their community. The program provides incentives to host dinners showcasing local farms, farmers, producers, and Kentucky Proud products, linking food promotion with a local charitable purpose.
