This program meets 4-H YLL requirement and will follow the journey of pork from farm to table, combining agricultural education with hands-on culinary experiences. Students will explore the history of pork; an overview of U.S. swine production; and the importance of quality assurance in ensuring responsible animal care, including food safety topics (needle count, vaccinating, biosecurity, and proper handling). 4-Hers will also learn about the versatility of pork, including different cuts, cooking techniques, and how to use everyday spices to make something delicious with pork as the main protein.
