As the new Produce Safety Rule goes into effect, I would like to make growers aware of 2 items of importance:
- An educational training will be required for an operation to be in adherence to the produce safety rule. There should be some of these meetings this fall.
- The Department of Agriculture is offering on farm non-regulatory visits to serve as a pre-inspection and inform the growers what they need to do to keep up with the new produce safety rule. You can go to the website below and request a visit to your farm for free.
