Annual Organic Farming Conference

In 2024, OAK’s conference program will feature three days of inspiration from local and regional speakers, useful Trade Show resources and abundant networking opportunities to empower and support farmers and food system innovators. OAK's annual conference programming focuses on agricultural production systems, farming techniques and practices and the interwoven threads of community, conservation and collective action, each inseparable from the sustainable agriculture movement. Now in its 13th year, the conference includes a growing audience of hundreds of Kentuckians and neighbors active in the region’s food systems: farmers, researchers, nonprofit professionals, federal and state agency partners, allied service providers and conscious consumers working collectively to build a local, resilient and healthy food system for us all. We invite you to be a part of it!

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.
