GREENUP The second Farm to Table Experience in Greenup brought food and fun to the area in what organizers plan to be an annual event. The event features a dinner made from area-grown produce, and educates people on just what it takes for food to make its way from the farms where they are grown to our tables. Proceeds from the event, hosted this year at Imelâs Greenhouse on Route 1, go to area youth programs in agriculture.
Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Dr. Ryan Quarles was present for the event again this year (last yearâs event was disrupted by the COVID pandemic) and had high praise for the event and area commitment to agriculture.Â

The free event at the McConnell House will feature Kentucky Memories, a traditional music group including Keith Garvin, a volunteer with Greenup Arts and the Greenup County Extension Council. Garvinâs son, Michael, also plays in Kentucky Memories.
Families making music together is essential to the event. Also part of Kentucky Memories are their cousins, Philip Litteral, who plays guitar, and George Litteral, who plays banjo.
âFamilies playing music together is a local tradition and part of our local cultural heritage,â Anne Stephens, Greenup County Extension Agent for Fine Arts and Community Development, said. âWhen the Fraley family (also related to the Garvins and the Litterals) started the American Folk Song Festival, it was really a family reunion with music.
