MOFGA's sample farm food safety plan, notes, and other resources

[Kristen Markley]

Dear RMA Learning Community members,

As we discussed on today's conference call, attached is a sample "farm food safety plan" that Cheryl Wixson from MOFGA developed. Cheryl explained that she hopes to be updating this plan this winter.

Also attached are notes from today's conference call, which will be posted, along with the webinar recordings and other resources at: http://www.foodsecurity.org/insurance.htm

Please let me know if you have any corrections or additions to the notes. Thank you to Jennifer Hashley for her extraordinary note-taking efforts!

Here is a link to an article that appeared in the on-line version of the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. The article includes information on how a regional food service management company (the Eat'n Park Hospitality Group Inc.), grocery store chain (Giant Eagle), and distributor (Paragon Foods) are handling food safety issues when purchasing local farm products: http://www.post-gazette.com/stories/business/news/demand-for-local-fresh-food-is-up-in-pittsburgh-640766/

Thank you for your input on today's call,

Stay tuned for details regarding the fourth (and last) webinar and follow-up conference call later this summer,

Best wishes,

Kristen
