LEXINGTON, Ky. — As of August 14, consumers will now be able to find and purchase Kentucky Cattlemen’s Ground beef in four new Kroger locations in Western Kentucky. This fresh and natural (no artificial ingredients, minimally processed) 80/20 ground beef is provided by Kentucky farm families who share a commitment to animal care and the environment. From farm to table, Kentucky cattlemen and local businesses will be supported to provide the Bluegrass with a delicious ground beef product.
The product, distributed by Beef Solutions, LLC, will now be available in 89 Kroger stores. The new locations include three in Bowling Green and one in Hopkinsville. Many entities across the state have worked hard to bring a local beef option directly to consumers through a large, readily available retail chain. The ground beef is sourced, processed and packaged in Kentucky and will be sold in a 1 pound package as well as a 2 lb (4 patties) package.
“As the largest beef producer east of the Mississippi, Kentucky cattlemen are excited and proud to offer a great beef product to our neighbors and family through such a reputable grocery store such as Kroger,” stated Jeff Pettit, Beef Solutions Chairman.
Beef Solutions was formed to provide a pathway for Kentucky’s cattle farmers to sell a locally produced and marketed ground beef, guiding the product from the Kentucky farm to the Kentucky consumer.
