Henderson’s Cates Farm has been accepted into the 2026 Kentucky Farm Bureau Certified Farm Market Program, said a KFB release.
As a member of this program, Cates Farm has committed to providing top-quality products and services to their customers. This certification ensures that each market meets the highest standards of quality, freshness and marketing appeal, said the release.
Cates Farm grows and offers locally grown produce picked fresh daily, including strawberries, cabbage, onions, lettuce, tomatoes, green beans, sweet corn, potatoes, eggplant, peppers, squash, zucchini, cucumbers, okra, watermelons and cantaloupe.
In the fall, the farm at 8132 Pruitt Agnew Road features a 15-acre corn maze, 12-acre pumpkin patch, hayrides, a straw maze, pedal tractors and other family activities. Straw, corn stalks and gourds are also available. School field trips and group bookings are welcome with reservations. It is open May through October; hours vary by season.

The KFB Certified Farm Market logo identifies markets certified through this program, and they are listed in the online directory. The program also provides collective advertising, promotional items, educational tour opportunities, and other marketing benefits, with the aim of increasing the net farm income of member markets, said the release.
