Jackson County Regional Food Center

The Jackson County Regional Food Center opened its doors in the fall of 2010 welcoming local farmers and entrepreneurs to bring their produce, value-added ideas, and dreams to market. While the Regional Food Center is a place to help make value-added ideas come to life, the center itself is a dream come true for the team of community leaders that have dedicated more than ten years to build this state of the art facility in their community.

The Kentucky Center for Agriculture and Rural Development is funded by the USDA Rural Business-Cooperative Service and the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board and receives in-kind contributions from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture and University of Kentucky.
