That's probably true if you want to grow corn or soybeans but in today's market there is a growing need for farmers to supply local farmers markets, schools and restaurants right in your own community. - BARBARA ARMITAGE, Saturday Farmers Market on the Square Coordinator Kentucky is home to the ultimate foods, farm's and flavor - GOV.

I've always heard that you had to have hundreds of acres, big tractors and a day job to make a living farming.

The Farmer's Market on the Square in Columbia is central Kentucky's fastest growing farmers market and we are seeking new farmers to help us keep up with the demand for fresh locally grown produce.
