Estimated time to complete (text + video): 1hr 44min

Is your farm compliant?

If you’re starting your own farm, then you probably want to sell your produce. And if you’re selling your produce, odds are that you’ll need to understand Food Safety/HACCP, sanitation procedures, compliance, and Food Defense before many markets accept you. If you’re looking at selling to grocery stores, especially, I can almost guarantee you that you’ll need to be compliant to get in.

The problem is, to many new farmers, these areas look like one giant question mark. They can be incredibly complicated and intimidating, right? Not necessarily.
