Aloha Kauai Agriculturalists,



Please help spread the word -

CTAHR is offering a FSMA Produce Safety Rule training online via Zoom, 4-7pm Monday-Wednesday, April 19th-21st, 2021.

The training is open to all growers statewide.

This is a required training for non-exempt farmers to comply with the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), but also a great training for anyone wanting to minimize food risk for the produce they sell to the public. If you have any questions about whether or not your farm is covered under the Produce Safety Rule, please refer to the information on the HDOA website http://www.hifarmsafe.org/

The cost for the training is $50 but is only required to be completed once. If you have already completed the training in previous years, you do not need to reapply. Please spread the word to friends and neighbors who might be interested.

Registration includes PSA Grower Training Manual, a Certificate of Course Attendance, and supplies to help incorporate farm food safety. **Many thanks to the sponsorship from the Hawaii Department of Agriculture for funding support.

Participants must be present at ALL 3 meetings (REQUIRED: stable internet connection, online video capability) in order to receive their certificate.
