The Kentucky Farm Bureau announced on Wednesday that Hampton Premium Meats in Christian County was accepted into the organization’s Certified Farm Market Program.
The program was founded in 1996 and helps spotlight food products made by Kentucky farmers while connecting them with local consumers. Hampton Premium Meats was established in 1975 and is a processing facility specializing in beef, pork, sheep, frozen seafood and cheeses.
In a news release, KFB President Eddie Melton says the certification gives these markets the recognition they deserve, and it gives consumers a trusted signal that what they’re buying was grown with care in Kentucky.
