Cardwell Family Farms and Struttin Rooster Farm, located in Butler County, have been accepted into the 2025 Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Certified Farm Market Program, which is celebrating its 30th year.

As members of this prestigious program, these markets have committed to providing top-quality products and services to their customers. This certification ensures that each market meets the highest standards of quality, freshness, and marketing appeal.

“For three decades, Kentucky Farm Bureau’s Certified Farm Market program has been a huge benefit to both communities and hardworking farm families across the commonwealth,” said KFB President Eddie Melton. “It gives markets valuable resources, credibility and a support network, and it’s also a seal of approval that lets consumers know the food they’re buying was grown and raised by their trusted neighbors.”

Cardwell Family Farms, located at 488 Stringtown Road in Morgantown, sells strawberries, homegrown hydroponic tomatoes, hydroponic cucumbers and hydroponic lettuce. It also sells tomato juices, salsa and diced tomato jars. Mums are available in the fall. The market is open from April to October.

The program also provides collective advertising, promotional items, educational tour opportunities, and other marketing benefits, with the aim of increasing the net farm income of member markets.
