Forsyth County Cooperative Extension is having a workshop this spring to provide farmers in the area with the tools to reduce food safety risks and meet marketing requirements.
Navigating the USDA GAP Audit will address how local farmers can achieve USDA Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) certification, provide information on risks behind specific GAPs requirements, and outline logistics for preparing and scheduling a GAPs audit. The USDA GAPs certification program is an independent audit of produce suppliers that focuses on best agricultural practices to verify that fruits and vegetables are produced, packed, handled and stored in the safest manner possible to minimize risks of microbial food safety hazards. This workshop will focus on the General Section, Part One: Farm Review, and Part Two: Field Harvest and Field Packing Activities of the USDA GAP Audit.
This workshop will combine classroom and possible on-farm instruction and will focus on prevention and risk identification across all commodities from farm to fork. Wholesalers, community supported agriculture (CSA), educational institutions and retail establishments increasingly want to know what risk-reduction practices are in place on the farm. Participants will receive a certificate of attendance for use in fulfilling the GAP Audit Requirements.
Portions of the workshop will take place outside. Please wear comfortable walking shoes, bring a water bottle, and appropriate weather gear. The workshop will take place rain or shine.
