We will be providing this training online and covering the basic principles of produce safety and about produce safety regulatory requirements, as well as marketplace requirements, such as Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) certification. We will also learn the basics of post-harvest handling to improve produce quality and shelf-life. We are planning to also include a video tour of Moon on the Meadow Farm with Jill Elmers, Lawrence, KS. Kaitlin Stanley of the Kansas Rural Center (KRC) will also be providing information on KRC's Farm to School efforts and how farmers can get involved in Farm to School programs.

There is no registration cost.  This is part of the Growing Growers KC 2021 core workshop series. Everyone is welcome to attend.
