The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satis The PSA Grower Training Course is one way to satisfy the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirement outlined in 112.22(c) that requires “At least one supervisor or responsible party for your farm must have successfully completed food safety training at least equivalent to that received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.”
.
In addition to learning about produce safety best practices, key parts of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements are outlined within each module. There will be time for questions and discussion, so participants should come prepared to share their experiences and produce safety questions. The course will provide a foundation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and co-management information, FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements, and details on how to develop a farm food safety plan.
.
Includes the Hotel Roanoke lunch buffet, breaks and light snacks.

We have a great line-up of pre-coherence workshops We have a great line-up of pre-coherence workshops at our conference, including one from chef turned butcher, Tanya Cauthen of @belmontbutchery . This two part workshop is designed for farmers and home cook. In part 1 – Tanya will demonstrate how to break down a pig into retail cuts, make a simple sausage and set up bacon to cure. We are going to go slow enough that farmers and home cooks should be able to do this at home! Part 2. (after lunch) Tanya and Henry (her husband and partner in meat & wine) will cook all the odd bits of the pig, as well as rarely used parts from lamb and beef.  We will demo and share cooking techniques for liver, kidneys, heart, trotters, cheeks and tongue! In addition, will cook and sample some of the more unusual muscle cuts – hangers, bavette, denver, ranch, to name a few.
