This celebration is part of a month-long Eat Local campaign during the month of July. Good Foods defines local food as fresh products, such as meat and produce, raised or grown in Kentucky, and products which are processed and packaged in the state of Kentucky. During July and throughout the year, Good Foods helps shoppers identify local food by Kentucky Proud and Local logos and signs.
Good Foods will also host an Eat Local Dinner from 7:30 - 9:30 p.m. July 27, which will showcase Lexington Pasta, Stone Cross Farm, Hughes Farm, Blue Moon Farm Garlic, Pike Valley Farm, Kentucky Ale, West Sixth Brewing Company, Boone Creek Creamery, Good Shepherd Cheese and Bluegrass Chevre during a four-course, small plate gastro journey.
