Home-Based Microprocessors

​Home-Based Microprocessor (HBM) Program

Home-based microprocessors are farmers who grow and harvest produce to use in value-added products to sell. ​The Division of Water assists the Department for Public Health, Agriculture Department and the University of Kentucky with the HBM Program by approving sources of potable water used by individuals within the program.
