Beef Bucks Grant Program


The Beef Bucks Grant program, a partnership between Tennessee ProStart and the Tennessee Beef Industry Council, equips culinary educators with the resources they need to bring beef into the classroom. By doing so, they’re helping future chefs gain a well-rounded understanding of the beef industry and its role in the culinary world.
