Keeping produce safe and meeting buyers and regulatory expectations starts with strong cleaning and sanitation practices. Farms that implement proper procedures not only protect public health but also improve efficiency and build trust with customers. To help growers and farm workers strengthen these skills, we invite you to join us on September 8th from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM at the Purdue Student Farm for a free, hands-on Cleaning and Sanitation Workshop. Attendees will learn from Purdue Extension experts about:
