WELCOME TO
THE KALAMAZOO CONSERVATION DISTRICT
Conservation Districts offer New Food Safety Risk Assessment
This is a free, voluntary, confidential program delivered by a trained Conservation District technician. Designed for small farms and markets, a Safe Food Farm Certificate of Completion will be awarded when a participating grower implements an action plan to correct potential food safety risks identified on the farm and is able to demonstrate or document conformance with at least 80% of the key food-safety management practices. The program will enhance grower awareness and adoption of safe food management practices, as well as improve their competitiveness in the marketplace.
Successful completion of this assessment will support the growing public interest in healthy local foods.
Contact Linda Zabik at the Kalamazoo Conservation District if you would like to work towards your Safe Food Certificate. Call Linda at 269-382-5121.
