Today our farms, our rural communities and natural resources are in serious decline. In 1990, I returned to the vision of my grandparents. I wanted to know how, in the worst economy in history and without high technology, they managed to succeed. I realized almost immediately that it would not be possible with out community support. The Organic Kentucky Producer's Association is a cooperative of local certified organic farmers acting together as a unit to sell produce that has been grown without synthetic pesticides and herbicides.
Organic farmers work to raise the fertility of their soil through sustainable agricultural methods.
As the fertility increases, so does the quality and flavor of the produce. OKPA is self-supporting through direct selling to consumers via buying club memberships. This cooperative is independent of other organizations, but gratefully acknowledges support from other sustainable agricultural groups such as Community Farm Alliance and Good Foods Co-Op. You will receive a produce preference list, which allows you to make the produce, frequency, and the quantity you wish to receive each week. According to your membership plan, each week you will receive a predetermined amount of produce based on your selections.
