Students in Mr. McKinzie's Principles of Agriculture class had an engaging lesson where they curated their own beef jerky yesterday. They had the opportunity to put into practice objectives learned over the past few weeks in regard to HACCP, food safety, and food technology! Students had a lot of fun making their own marinades and using a consumer ballot to score each other's projects.
