Whether you’re in Louisville for the world-famous Kentucky Derby, a bluegrass experience, sightseeing or business, you’ll encounter Southern hospitality and a growing awareness of
sustainability. Kentucky ranks fourth in the nation for its number of farms, and that local bounty is sold at Louisville’s 20-plus farmer’s markets and is served in many of the city’s restaurants. Look for the “Kentucky Proud” logo on menus.
