LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Kentucky agriculture, local food and community service will come together this summer as the Third Annual Commissioner’s Farm to Fork Benefit Dinner returns to the Kentucky State Fair on August 19.
Hosted by Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell, the annual event will take place at the Kentucky Fair & Exposition Center’s Harold Workman Lobby and will feature Kentucky Proud food while raising funds for Kentucky CASA, the Court Appointed Special Advocates program that supports children across the Commonwealth.
The Farm to Fork Benefit Dinner has become a celebration of Kentucky agriculture, bringing together farmers, livestock producers, agricultural leaders and consumers for an evening focused on local food and community impact.
The dinner will showcase Kentucky Proud food products while highlighting the important role farmers and agricultural producers play in feeding families and supporting rural communities.
According to Shell, the event is about bringing together community to support children
