Field to Fork, Hook and Cook Agent Training

Author: Gregg Rentfrow

Planning Unit: Animal and Food Sciences

Major Program: Local Food Systems

Outcome: Long-Term Outcome

Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has two programs, Field to Fork, and Hook and Cook, that have grown in popularity and they needed help to continue to offer those programs to the state.  We have worked with KFW in the past to develop recipe cards for various game through out the Commonwealth.  A two day program was offered in February to train agents on how to conduct those programs.  The agents were split into two groups; one group was trained in the Field to Fork program, while the other group was in the Hook and Cook program.  And then the next day the groups changed so that the agents were trained in both programs.  I gave a cutting demonstration on how to cut up a deer carcass and how to dress and prepare a fish for either pan fry or filet.  Over 50 agents were trained in both programs, with the hopes of offering those programs to their clientele, however the pandemic put those programs on hold.
