Kentucky-Grown Vegetable Incentive Program

The Kentucky-Grown Vegetable Incentive Program, also known as K-VIP, was established in 2018 to increase locally-grown fruit and vegetables in the Kentucky summer meals program and after-school meals program. For every one dollar spent, K-VIP reimburses 50¢. Reimbursements can be used to purchase more produce, buy equipment, pay staff  wages, help purchase vehicles for mobile meals, etc.

The Kentucky-Grown Vegetable Incentive Program is funded by the Kentucky Agriculture Development Board and administered by Feeding Kentucky.
