A new joint state initiative helps farmers in Maine and New Hampshire improve food safety on their farms. Called Jumpstart to Farm Food Safety with Extension, the project offers farmers the chance to work individually with an Extension educator, trained in produce safety.
Educators help farmers take important steps to address farm food safety concerns, including :
- starting, continuing or rejuvenating a farm food safety plan
- designing a safer and more efficient wash/pack area
- writing, reviewing or improving Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)
- training staff in health and hygiene
- drawing a farm or irrigation map
