The Kentucky Vegetable Growers Association
was established in 1970 as a non-profit organization to bring together growers, researchers, and individuals across the state who are interested in vegetable production.

• Officers and Board of Directors
• Advisors
• Committees
• Meetings

Our growers join with members of the Kentucky Vineyard Society and the Kentucky State Horticultural Society to organize the annual Kentucky Fruit and Vegetable Conference and Trade Show, held every January in Lexington, KY. This conference brings growers and researchers together to highlight topics of interest for vegetable growers in the state. Sessions often include talks on organic farming, vegetable production and farmers' markets. Research on new varieties and production techniques is presented as well as grower experiences. This year the conference was held at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Lexington KY on January 7 and 8th.

The goals of our association are to:

• Help promote Kentucky-grown produce
• Support and direct research activities at the University of Kentucky
• Encourage young people to work in the vegetable industry
• Present a unified voice for Kentucky vegetable growers to legislators
