Struttin' Rooster now KFB certified farm market

Struttin' Rooster Farm is the second Butler County farm, joining Cardwell Family Farms, accepted into the 2020 Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Certified Farm Market Program.

In joining the KFB Certified Farm Market Program, Struttin' Rooster Farm has committed to offering quality products and services to its customers. Acceptance by Farm Bureau tells customers that this market meets the highest standards of quality, freshness, and marketing appeal.

Struttin' Rooster Farm is located at 1326 Al Embry Road in Jetson, Kentucky. Ryan and Angela Emmick farm a little over two acres and operate a high tunnel.

"We start our season off with onions, squash, zucchini, cabbage, lettuces, kale, radishes, turnips, meat chickens, eggs, and much more," said Angela.

The Emmicks started the Morgantown Farmer's Market last year along with their Community Supported Agriculture (CSA)baskets. CSA has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer.

Here's how it works: Struttin' Rooster Farm offers a certain number of "shares" to the public. Typically the share consists of a box of vegetables and other farm products like fruits, eggs, meats, eggs, and bread may be included. Interested consumers purchase a share (aka a "membership" or a "subscription") and in return receive a box (bag, basket) of seasonal produce each week from the farm's harvest.

"We have our Home Based Processor license, and our sourdough starter is growing. Freshly baked loaves of bread will be added to the market soon," said Ryan.

Struttin' Rooster Farm will also offer broccoli, potatoes, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, tomatoes, several varieties of squash, cucumbers, corn, blueberries, and peaches.

Angela's Barnyard Petting Zoo, a pumpkin patch, and family hayrides are just some of the upcoming attractions.
