Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training Course

Colorado State University Extension, Fort Lewis College, and the Colorado Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association will be hosting an online only Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training Course in two parts, from 8am-1:00pm on both February 19 and February 20, 20263. Since it is online only, it has a very specific structure. Please read all the registration information to make sure this course and its format will work for you.

This course will provide a foundation on the FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) and co-management information, and details on how to develop a farm food safety plan. Individuals are expected to gain a basic understanding of:

  • Requirements in the FSMA Produce Safety Rule and how to meet them;
  • Microorganisms relevant to produce safety and where they may be found on the farm;
  • How to identify microbial risks, practices that reduce risks, and how to begin implementing produce safety practices on the farm; and
  • Parts of a farm food safety plan and how to begin writing one.

The registration fee is $75 which includes PSA materials and a certificate of completion as required under FSMA. Registration for this course closes on February 11 in order to have time to mail out required course materials.
