JUNIOR CHEF

On behalf of Commissioner Jonathan Shell, the Kentucky Department of Agriculture would like to invite you to join our annual Kentucky Farm to School Junior Chef competition. This is a statewide high school cooking competition designed to offer youth the opportunity to learn valuable skills in recipe development, food preparation, marketing, public presentation, organization, teamwork and community involvement. Additionally, the program will stimulate interest in local agriculture, create a nontraditional market for Kentucky producers, increase quality of products available to school cafeterias, and ultimately increase consumption of produce by Kentucky’s students. A full copy of rules and information can be found on our website listed below. I encourage you to put a team together and come join the fun!
