Upcoming Ag Events:

February 21, 2019; 8:30-3:30 Guided Session: Developing Your Farm Food Safety Plan. FREE. After completing PSA Grower Training (February 19, 2019 in Anacortes, WA http://foodsafety.wsu.edu/training-programs/psagtandttt/) growers will develop a specific farm food safety plan and associated SOPs and records for their 2019 season. These are necessary if they are interested in getting a thirty party Good Agricultural Audit in the fall. Even growers who do not wish to get a GAP audit can benefit by participating in this course through gaining knowledge on best food safety practices for their operations.
