Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training – Grafton

Fruit and vegetable growers! Wondering where to begin with food safety? Start here! The PSA Grower Training is currently the only FDA-recognized produce safety training to help growers implement Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and understand their responsibilities under new Federal regulations. Whether you have a farm that is fully covered by the law or a small, exempt farm and you’re just looking for information, this training is for you.

The PSA Grower Training Course satisfies the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in §112.22(c) that requires ‘At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’ The training is also required for participation in Massachusetts’ Commonwealth Quality Program.

Cost is $40 and includes the required PSA Grower Manual ($50 value), a Certificate of Course attendance from AFDO ($35 value), and lunch and refreshments.

This is your last opportunity to attend a PSA training in Massachusetts this year. We will hold another series of trainings in several locations around the state early in 2019.

When: Monday, October 29, 2018 from 9 am to 5 pm

Where: Brigham Hill Community Farm, 37 Wheeler Rd, North Grafton, MA 01536
