Produced in New York Training and Event

Do you enjoy cooking or baking? Do you want to put your skills to the test? We are offering you the opportunity to do that in the Produced in New York Event! You will choose a product that has been produced in New York and you will incorporate that in a recipe of your choice. You will then make that recipe in front of an evaluator. You will receive feedback on your culinary skills, finished product, and completed menu planning sheet. If you are interested, learn more at our Training Workshop during February break. The Produced in New York event will hold virtual and in-person opportunities in March if there is enough interest. Join 4-H staff and volunteers on Wednesday, February 17 at 10 AM to learn more about the 4-H Produced in New York event. Registration is requested by Friday, February 12th.
