Kentucky Proud Connection

Dozens of Kentucky family farms and small businesses will benefit from a historic partnership between Kentucky Proud and Kroger, Agriculture Commissioner James Comer announced Nov. 6 in Lexington and Nov. 7 in Louisville.

Kerry Winstead and Brian Hornback are among several western Kentucky farmers who are growing premium popcorn under the Kentucky Proud Popcorn label that will be sold in 88 Kroger supermarkets throughout Kentucky.

A coma couldn’t stop Catrina Hill from starting her Kentucky Proud business.

Three years after starting their Appalachia Proud soap business in their home, Amy Henson and Wes McFadden have a herd of 30 goats that produced enough milk for Amy to fill her first big retail order.
