Vegetable and fruit farmers will be able to adhere to food safety rules via the help of online workshops organized by Purdue Extension. This will especially benefit farmers interested in selling their produce to operations instead of direct sales to consumers. The series have been scheduled for Wednesday evenings around July at various locations. Some of the subjects that the series plans to cover include hygiene and health, animal produce, water treatment and quality, sanitation, food safety of farms, and record keeping. The Health Department of Indiana State has implemented regulations that have increased the accountability level of farmers intending to sell their products to consumers. Prior to the regulations in question, the sole responsibility of distributing fresh vegetables and fruits was on farmers producing the products. The regulations will require farmers to register as wholesalers with the state, as well as have the know-how of food safety.
The workshops will target both the prospective and current vegetable and fruit farmers, community garden managers, who serve in the distribution of products to members of the public, as well as the market gardeners. The program will specifically target people interested in selling farm products to other companies instead of selling the products directly to the final consumer. One of the health concern issues that have risen in relation to farm products is contamination. Therefore, the fundamental goal of the workshops will be presenting current scientific information on ways of minimizing the potential consequences of contamination in the course of producing vegetables and fruits. Additionally, the workshops will shed light on documentation and planning of practices related to food safety. This will range from planting of vegetables and fruits to marketing these products.
