Food Safety on Farms Open to Visitors

FSMA…GAPs…CAPS…OMG! Need help navigating the maze of food safety regulations? This workshop is for farms open to visitors that sell or serve food and agricultural service providers who support them. Learn which regulations matter for farms of all types and sizes, and meet the experts you can call on when you have questions. A tour of Cedar Circle Farm’s food safety systems will demonstrate best practices for produce and prepared foods in the farmstand, PYO fields, kitchen, and cafe.

This workshop is hosted by University of Vermont Extension, the Vermont Farm to Plate Network, and the Farm-Based Education Network in collaboration with NOFA-VT, the Vermont Agency of Ag, and the Vermont Farm Bureau.
