  SUMMARY
  
  Kentucky residents in low-income communities now have increased access to fresh fruits and vegetables at farmers’ markets. The Kentucky Department of Public Health (KDPH) partnered with a coalition of community organizations across the state to improve healthier food access in communities. Through a collaborative effort with the Community Farm Alliance (CFA), more farmers’ markets are now accepting federal nutrition benefits and offering incentive programs, allowing residents to access and buy produce at farmers’ markets close to home.
