All produce farms want to grow safe food, right? Are your markets asking for food safety plans or audit certification? Do you want to understand produce safety issues? A way to do this is to learn and follow produce safety practices with Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs).
Join Robert Hadad, Regional Vegetable Specialist with the Cornell Vegetable Program, and Lynn Bliven, Ag & Natural Resources Issue Leader from CCE Allegany County for this full day workshop on Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and leave with information to start a food safety plan for YOUR farm!
Topics to be covered:
- What are Good Agricultural Practices?
- How can I implement GAPs?
- What does it mean for my farming operations?
- Information about third-party audits.
- How to get started with writing a food safety plan for your farm.
