Kentucky Farm Share Coalition

Kentucky Farm Share Coalition (KYFSC) is a community supported agriculture program (CSA) with a mission to help certified organic farmers increase and stabilize their annual revenue while improving healthy food access for consumers. CSA's are a weekly box of locally grown produce provided at specific price points by local farms looking for new ways to reach clients and potential markets. KY Farm Share Coalition is helping farmers connect with those individuals through a unique workplace wellness CSA program of particular interest to self-insured employers eager to manage healthcare costs with innovative and proactive programming.

Annual Organic Farming Conference

OAK's annual conference brings together a growing audience of hundreds of Kentuckians and neighbors active in our community food systems: farmers, researchers, nonprofit professionals, federal and state agency partners, allied service providers and conscious consumers working collectively to build local, resilient and healthy food and farming networks. The synergy of these diverse voices, messages and approaches combined with the place-based connection to our Kentucky farms, soil and communities provides a rich foundation for conversation and growth. The conference features local experts and national voices, offering on-farm production systems, techniques and practices. Participants connect with the wider community and together, advance sustainable agriculture in Kentucky.
