Kenny's Farmhouse Cheese

Kenny Mattingly did not plan on becoming a cheese maker when he decided to return to his family farm in Austin, Kentucky. He just wanted to get back to doing something he loved, being a dairy farmer like his father.

Central Kentucky Custom Meats

Jerome Salyers and Neil Buck had an idea in early 2001 that they could build a slaughter facility in rural Casey County and make it succeed. There were only a few places in the surrounding area where farmers and hunters could get their animals processed and only one was USDA certified.

Stone Cross Farm & Cloverdale Creamery

Farming was in Patrick Kennedy’s blood from the day he was born on his family farm in Jefferson County. Farming with his father on his family’s operation in his teens and early 20s, Patrick learned to love the daily challenges of farm life.

In 1987 when his father passed away, the Kennedy family farm was the last working dairy farm in the Louisville city limits; when it was sold Patrick chose to stay close to his roots.
