Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training


Safe Wisconsin Produce (SWP) is hosting two virtual Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training courses intended for farms that grow, harvest, pack and/or hold produce on their operations.  These opportunities allow farms covered under the Produce Safety Rule, as well as those operating within the Wisconsin Local Food Purchasing Assistance (WI LFPA) program, to meet a training requirement. 

For WI LFPA Direct to Farmer grant participants, the cost of the courses are paid for by the WI LFPA Program, with each opportunity limited to 40 participants.  Registrations will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis, so sign up today to learn about the following topics:

  • Introduction to produce safety

  • Worker health, hygiene and training

  • Soil amendments of animal origin

  • Wildlife, domesticated animals and land use

  • Agricultural water

  • Post-harvest handling and sanitation

  • How to develop a farm food safety plan

Approximately two weeks prior to the course, SWP will provide a Microsoft Teams link for the course, a mailed course manual and various other resources (e.g. agenda, regulation book, brochures, etc.).  Contact SWP at 608-224-4511 or safeproduce@wisconsin.gov with questions or comments!
