Food safety for your farm

In this podcast, we hear from Tammy Howard, agriculture specialist at NCAT's Rocky Mountain West office in Butte, Montana, and David Wise, certified Produce Safety trainer and consultant. They talk about a new tool to help farmers navigate the complicated food safety regulatory environment. The Farmer Regulatory Toolkit helps farmers understand the different regulations that might apply to them based on their size and markets. It also provides an additional tool to conduct a quick food safety self-assessment. This innovative tool will create a document that can be used to present to buyers or any markets that may be requiring food safety standards on the part of the farmer.Related ATTRA Resources:ATTRA's On-Farm Food Safety and FSMA pageFarmer Regulatory ToolkitAdditional ATTRA resources include:Farm-Based Food Safety video seriesAn Illustrated Guide to Growing Safe Produce on your FarmFarm Food Safety and Organic Certification Co-Compliance Guide for Specialty Crop FarmersPlease call ATTRA with any and all of your sustainable agriculture questions at 1-800-346-9140 or e-mail us at [email protected].
