Eastern New York Commercial HorticultureFarm Food Safety Training with GAPs (Steuben County) - Co Hosted by NOFA-NY
February 27 - February 28, 2014A new program, Harmonized GAPs, has been developed to combine several food safety certifications into one program. New York's retail produce buyers, such as Wegmans, are asking growers to adopt Harmonized GAPs certification in many cases.
In response, Cornell Cooperative Extension, the Cornell Vegetable Program, the Cornell Lake Ontario Fruit Team, the Produce Safety Alliance, the Cornell National GAPs Program, and NOFA-NY with assistance from NY Ag & Markets, will be presenting a training for farm food safety or GAPs, including Harmonized GAPs. The training is open to all produce farms and related industry people. This workshop is partially funded through a grant from the Genesee Valley Regional Market Authority, and A Risk Management Grant from USDA.
