Farm Food Safety 2-Day Training with GAPs - CANCELED
December 3 - December 4, 2019
Tues-Weds, 8:30am - 4:30pm
East Aurora, NY
THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELED. We hope to reschedule it later this winter.
This training is geared for fresh produce farms looking to learn and implement food safety practices into their operations. If you are looking to find new markets, many buyers are requiring food safety training. Under the GAPs (Good Agricultural Practices) program this training will help prepare you for implementing food safety practices and move you forward for audit/certification through NY State Dept of Agriculture. If you are looking to sell to farm to school programs, many school districts require a training course.
