Produced in NY (PINY)

Program Introduction: This educational program is designed to give youth an opportunity to learn about and use a wide variety of agricultural products that are produced right in New York State. PiNY is a silent demonstration that helps youth build confidence in demonstrating their knowledge of their food preparation skills while promoting a flavorful recipe featuring New York State food products. Individual 4-H members will learn how to set up and participate in this culinary competition alongside several of their peers. This style of demonstrating allows the younger 4H members to build confidence and increase their comfort in front of an audience while older members can focus on conquering more complicated recipes. The PiNY program is a great way for all 4H members to acquire new skills, techniques, and build confidence while increasing their knowledge of food handling and preparation in the form of a public presentation.
