The Ham, Bacon and Egg program allows youth involved in FFA or 4-H to take their livestock project a step further, and turn them into young entrepreneurs. Participants with poultry are trained to successfully raise a laying hen, as well as how to select a perfect dozen based on interior and exterior quality. Swine participants are instructed on the proper procedures and techniques to cure a ham and bacon, and take their product from harvest to the dinner table. These carefully crafted products are then judged for quality and auctioned off to dedicated supporters of FFA and 4-H in the area.

The 65th Annual Greenbrier Valley 4-H & FFA Ham, Bacon and Egg Show and Sale with the largest number of participants to date. The Show & Sale, held Mar. 27, at The State Fair of West Virginia fairgrounds, showcased over 200 items, and lots of change. In an effort to continue to improve one of the oldest and largest Ham, Bacon and Egg Show and Sale in West Virginia, the sale was divided into a silent auction and a live auction.

With the combined support of parents, volunteers, local businesses, FFA chapters, and WVU extension, youth across Greenbrier and Monroe counties continue to expand their knowledge, master skills, and build character through the Ham, Bacon and Egg Program.
