What they do
Homegrown Direct is an eighth-generation Kentucky [[farm|family farm]] in Georgetown that over the past decade was transformed from a tobacco operation into a 230-acre diversified produce and beef farm. The current operating generation runs a three-tier CSA (Peck / Half-Bushel / Bushel), bulk seasonal vegetables, wholesale produce for commercial clients, and a registered Angus beef herd with quality hay. The farm is USDA GAP+ certified, third-party audited, and a partner in the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Local Food Purchase Assistance (LFPA) program. Stated mission: “to provide fresh, local & safe produce” within “a locally supported and transparent food system.”
Why it’s listed
Three filters. (1) Documented [[tobacco|tobacco]]-to-food transition — converting an inherited Kentucky tobacco farm to diversified produce is the regional regeneration story the directory most wants to lift. (2) Eighth-generation continuity with a fourth-generation-children layer being raised into the work. (3) LFPA program partner — that’s a direct channel to schools, food banks, and underserved households, plus USDA GAP+ third-party food-safety audit. Specific, third-party, and aligned.
