Black Soil Kentucky is cultivating an agricultural future in Kentucky that enriches and nurtures both farm and table. By way of an online marketplace and several yearlong events, BSK connects farmers and producers from all over the state with urban families, thus connecting Black Kentuckians with their agricultural roots, and introducing economic opportunities to Black growers.

With the idea of providing nourishing, healthy, and affordable meals to lower-income families in her community, Angelia Davis started From the Heart three years ago.

Graze has an upscale feel, with down-home, farm-to-fork cooking. Beginning operations out of a 13-seater former post office in 2013, the restaurant has since grown, with a loyal clientele that's forced them into a bigger space.

The Black Italian redefines what it means to cook with love. Owned by a Black and Italian husband/wife duo and named for their Black Italian daughter, the restaurant makes meals inspired by the melding of their heritage and their love.
