Supporting Local Agriculture

At Halcomb's Knob Farm, we take a basic approach in our daily activities, knowing the challenges we face today, will guide us in the direction of action we implement tomorrow.

Located within 6 miles of I-75, exit 76, our 30-acre Garrard County small farm operation encompasses a mixture of sustainable homesteading and environmental education where we strive to provide a variety activities to the community at-large. Join us on Saturday, July 20, 2013, as we host our annual Field to Fork Festival, celebrating the diversity of locally produced food and farm products and highlighting the skills and resources needed to sustain eco-communities.

First held in July 2011, this Festival's mission is three-fold: 1) to provide opportunities through hands-on learning and instruction to enhance knowledge and skills needed to be proactive in our region's agricultural marketplace; 2) to showcase the Commonwealth's variety of agricultural commodities available locally and regionally, as well as offer tantalizing flavors of these home-grown products; and 3) to bring together in one common area, the vendors and exhibitors who provide the supplies and informational resources to Kentucky's sustainable consumers.

Mark your calendar today, to join us on Saturday, July 20, 2013 at Kentucky's only Field to Fork Festival!
