Attached below is the meeting date/location/time for the PSA meeting for those growing produce. Any produce grower who grows, packs, harvests, and/or holds covered produce, makes over $25,000 in annual produce sales (on average, based on the past three years of sales), and does not qualify for a Produce Safety Rule exemption is required to attend this training under new federal regulations. As of January 2018, larger grower operations (with more than $500,000 in annual sales) must comply with the Produce Safety Rule. Currently, this curriculum is the only curriculum approved by the FDA to meet the educational requirement §112.22(c) of the Produce Safety Rule.
The only cost to attend the training in Moultrie is the $10 registration fee to cover costs that cannot be covered by grant funding. It is recommended that the owner of the farm be in attendance to be certified and can bring an employee as well. If only an employee was sent, then the owner would not be certified if the employee was to switch jobs.
