The Fayette County Farm to School program is committed to Kentucky farmers and our local community. Our goal is to bring the freshness and quality of Kentucky Proud products to Fayette County schools. We hope that our collaborative efforts help kids to grow into healthier adults who are educated about local food production and who demand local food products.
