Sources of high-quality protein are notoriously expensive and difficult to procure for local anti-hunger organizations. In partnership with University of Wyoming Extension 4-H and FFA, Fair to Fork works to purchase secondary hogs through a lottery selection, from every county in Wyoming. Wyoming Hunger Initiative will purchase the pig, ensure the meat is processed by a USDA or state-inspected facility, and then coordinate with the 4-H or FFA member to donate it to a local anti-hunger organization in the county of origin.
Joining us is as easy as 1-2-3!
Sign up for the lottery through your local University of Wyoming Extension Office or FFA chapter by using this link to complete and submit the online form indicating your interest in Fair to Fork.
If you are selected, your hog will be purchased for $500. It will then be processed (at no cost to you) by a USDA or state-licensed facility, then donated to a local anti-hunger organization of your choice in your community.
Come to the Wyoming State Fair to be recognized by Governor Mark Gordon and First Lady Jennie Gordon!
