Third Thursday Thing is Kentucky State University Land Grant Program’s monthly sustainable agriculture workshop. Third Thursday Thing started as a training program for extension agents in 1997, and quickly expanded to include members of the community. Today Third Thursday Thing covers a wide variety of topics throughout the year. The goal is to improve the sustainability of agriculture on Kentucky’s small, limited-resource, female, and minority farms. Workshops are held on the 3rd Thursday of each month (except December).
