Update: Black Soil KY says the event will only run through Oct. 1 because of high demand. They will no longer be giving out produce on Wednesday, Oct 2.

Agriculture company Black Soil KY is helping people restock their refrigerators after widespread power outages over the weekend caused by major winds and rainfall.

The company said they want to support the community after significant challenges from Hurricane Helene.

From 10 a.m. to 4 p.m on Sept. 30 through Oct. 1, the company is offering free, fresh fruits and vegetables grown by Black and Indigenous farmers.

Black Soil KY is distributing the bags of produce at their new fulfillment center, located at 820 Lane Allen Road, Suite 176 in Lexington.
