Family Farms and Local Foods

Celebrate family farms by purchasing your produce from local farmers or stores that sell locally grown fruits and vegetables.
 
Kentucky Appalachian Ministry works with individuals, groups and local congregations to help them discover ways in which they may help family farmers and support sustainable agriculture.  Every Spring, we send posters and material to congregations urging their members to support farmers' markets and restaurant that feature local meat and produce.
 
Many farm families depend on local markets for income.  Unfortunately, Federal legislation has not always been supportive of small farms.
 
At KAM we support local, seasonal, and sustainable foods and urge state and local governments to make all legislation "family farm friendly."   Most of all, we believe that our fruits, grains, vegetables, and produce are gifts from God and 'heaven sent" to each of us.
