Susan Miller

Farming has been a longtime passion for Susan, a third-generation farmer and co- owner of Miller Farm, a 4.5-acre farm located in Lincoln County, KY. As a child, Susan and her siblings would pick the produce her father grew on their 15-acre farm to fulfill canning company contracts. Now, Susan is keeping her family’s legacy alive, with the help of her husband George, and their two daughters. Miller Farm specializes in growing a variety of fresh produce, including beans, potatoes, corn, tomatoes, squash, onions, cabbage, cantaloupe, watermelons, and sweet potatoes using black plastic irrigation and high tunnels. 

In 2014, the Miller family was named the Small/Limited Resource Producer of the Year at Kentucky State University's Small Farm Conference. Additionally in 2022, Kentucky Farm Bureau accepted Miller Farm into their Certified Farm Market Program. Currently, Miller Farm provides fresh produce for CSA baskets and sells its produce at the Lincoln County Farmers Market and on their farming operation. 

In addition to being a farmer, Susan is also a family resource center coordinator in the Lincoln County school system with plans to retire soon. She believes in giving back to the community and also serves in several advisory and leadership roles in Lincoln County. Susan is currently a board member for Blue Grass Community Action, Habitat for Humanity, Kentucky Vegetable Growers Association, and Lincoln County Extension District. She is also a State Extension Advisory Council member, Lincoln County Farm Service Agency state committee advisor, Lincoln County 4-H treasurer, and President of Lincoln County Farmers Market.
