Escambia Extension To Offer Food Safety Workshop For Farms

August 14, 2011

Escambia County Extension will offer a Food Safety Workshop to help growers develop their own personalized food safety manual.

Most intermediate and large chain store buyers require some level of food safety program from each farm before they buy. Even smaller operations selling directly to consumers may be required to develop a manual for their farm.

The workshop, which  is limited to 10 farms, will be taught on computers, using a web-based food safety manual development program. Farmers needing assistance on the computer can bring a computer-savvy helper.

The registration fee is $20 for the person representing a farm and $10 for each additional attendee. Lunch is included.

The workshop will be held on Tuesday, August 23 from 8:30 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. at the Escambia County Extension Windstorm Building at 3740 Stefani Road.

For more information or to register, call 475-5230 or contact M. Allison Meharg at allisonm@ufl.edu or Libbie Johnson libbiej@ufl.edu.
