Judging Foods and Food Preservation at Fairs

Fair season is almost here! If you are a new judge or experienced judge for foods and food preservation, there is training to help you learn or brush up on tips to be an informed judge.

Food safety is of utmost importance. Learn about the safety of frostings and fillings in the new publication “Food Safety of Frostings and Fillings,” MF3544. A video is also available on this topic.

For foods and food preservation judging, information and videos from the 2020 trainings are available to view on your own. Scorecards and how to create a positive judging experience are also included.

All of this information can be found on the “Judging at Fairs” website.

The videos run approximately one hour each.

Also, please provide the judging scorecards for food preservation at your fair! These will help guide judges through the different kinds of exhibits.
