Whether or not your farm is covered by the Food Safety Modernization Act Produce Safety Rule, implementing food safety practices on your farm is good for business. If you allow customers to harvest their own fruit, you also need to make them aware of your food safety policies so they can keep themselves and others safe. In this webinar, Dr. Fisk will describe food safety risks on pick-your-own farms and suggest some rules you may want to include in your visitor policy to minimize those risks.
