Our partners at the OSU Food and Agricultural Products Center have scheduled three Produce Safety Alliance Courses for the next few months.
There will be two online classes held via Zoom on November 3 or January 22. An in-person class will be held in Stillwater at the Food and Agricultural Products Center on December 13.
Attendees will learn good agricultural practices that can help prevent making people sick with foodborne pathogens like E. coli O157:H7 or Salmonella from the consumption of raw produce from your farm. Therefore, we strongly recommend any produce farmer to attend one of these classes regardless of farm size. The course completion certificate for these courses are recognized by the FDA and Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry as proof that a covered produce farm has taken an approved training course as required in the Produce Safety Rule. This course will also satisfy the food safety training requirement of the Oklahoma Local Food Procurement Assistance Program.
The cost is $25, and registration for each class will close about 2 weeks prior to the class. A class discount may be available for Oklahoma Local Agriculture Collaborative (OLAC) members. Visit https://oklac.org/ for more information and to join the OLAC.
