The Black Soil Sprout food truck will be on hand Saturday at the Trigg County Country Ham Festival to provide free meat and produce to community members.
Saturday’s stop will be third stop involving Black Soil and the Edge Media Group. Black Soil representative Dom Tye worked with volunteers to give away more than 500 bags of food during the Black Patch Festival in Princeton Saturday, September 7th, and another 500 bags of food during the Elkton Harvest Festival Saturday, October 5th.
Black Soil will partner with WKDZ to give away food from 9 am until 5 pm Saturday next to the WKDZ Trigg County Ham Festival broadcast booth in front of the Bank of Cadiz.
Tye says the program is made possible by a grant from the Kentucky Department of Agriculture.
Tye says there are no requirements to receive a bag of free food Saturday.
He adds the mission of the organization is to help small farmers sustain and grow their operation.
Tye says the effort is much more than just giving away a bag of food, but is a good way to connect to the communities they are providing the free food in.
A variety of produce from Trigg County farmers will be given away during the Trigg County Ham Festival, with a limited number of boxes of pork burgers to also be distributed through a partnership with the Kentucky Pork Producers.
