Are you a farmer interested in produce safety? Are your markets asking for food safety plans or third party verification? Do you want to understand produce safety issues and Good Agricultural Practices as well as the FSMA proposed Produce Rule and third party audits? If so, join us for this multi-day workshop on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and leave with a farm food safety plan for YOUR farm! Day one covers: what GAPs are, how you can implement GAPs, what GAPs mean for your farm operation, FSMA overview, and information about third-party audits. Day two covers: writing a food safety plan for your farm. Registration includes educational materials, lunch, and refreshments. 

*Please note: a laptop is required for day 2. If you need to borrow a computer, please let us know in advance!
