Food Safety Workshop in Enterprise on Friday, March 7th

Make the most of your winter time by signing up for a Rural Roots Food Safety Workshop.  This workshop features four keynote speakers talking about different aspects of food safety; local farmers telling (perhaps even showing) what they do to make sure the food they produce is safe to eat; and regional health department representatives explaining local regulations and their reasoning.

Workshop participants will receive free copies of two excellent resources developed by Cornell University: Food Safety Begins on the Farm: A Growers Guide and Food Safety Begins on the Farm: A Grower Self Assessment of Food Safety Risks; and lots of other take home resources to help you build or assess your own farm to market food safety plan.

A little extra knowledge can go a long way towards protecting your customers and your business. Why not see what you can learn from the workshop presenters and from each other!

If you are a certified organic producer, this opportunity to earn organic education credits from the Idaho State Department of Agriculture.
 
Registration is only $15 per person. Thanks to a generous grant fromWesternCenterfor Risk Management Education and in-kind support from UI Extension, WSU Extension, Idaho State Department of Agriculture, Idaho Department of Health and Welfare and other local partners, we are able to keep the registration fee well below the true cost of these workshops.
