Food Safety, Wash Station Set-Up, Best Harvest Practices & Good Recordkeeping Workshop

Now, as you are coming upon your harvest season, it’s the time to remind ourselves of food safety, best harvest practices, good record keeping and vegetable washing/cooling methods.  We are in a time of paramount importance and emphasis on following food safety regulations.  We want to make sure that our systems are in line with and mindful of these practices.  We will review some regulations and review our wash station set-ups and policies.  We will also review best and safest harvest practices and ideas for record keeping!

This workshop is part of New Entry Sustainable Farming Project's Spring/Summer Field Workshop Series. Participants in the New Entry Farmer Training Program and all Farm Business Planning Class graduates and the general public are welcome to attend our bi-monthly Field Training Series. These on-farm workshops focus on building practical skills on topics including organic agricultural production and marketing, food and farm safety, greenhouse management, small equipment use and maintenance, pest management, irrigation, and soil and water conservation and provide the practical field component of our farmer training program.
