A June workshop on meat cutting, meat quality, and selecting different cuts for different markets was filled to capacity and will be repeated in July in partnership with Adams Farm slaughterhouse. On July 18th, we'll also hold a workshop for farmers on the Food Safety Modernization Act, how it could impact local farms, and how farms can provide feedback on the draft rules to the Food and Drug Administration.
