Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Eastern New York Extension Wednesday, February 12, 2025 8:00 am - 5:00 pm Join Cornell Cooperative Extension of Orange and Oneida Counties, the Cornell Vegetable Program, Harvest NY, and the Eastern NY Horticulture Team on Feb. 12 for a remote Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs) training. Good Agricultural Practices is a voluntary food safety audit program requiring minimum standards for the production, handling, packing, and storing of fresh fruits and vegetables, and is required by some buyers. Trainers will cover food safety best management practices related to worker training, preharvest assessments and wildlife management, water testing, postharvest handling, hygienic equipment design and efficient wash-pack setups, how to write a farm food safety plan, and more. The training will follow the USDA GAPs audit checklist so that farms will be prepared for an audit. A NYSDAM GAPs auditor will join us to discuss audit logistics and answer questions from participants. Following the course, we will offer a series of virtual office hours to follow up with course participants to assist them with writing their farm food safety plan, which is mandatory for the GAPs audit. Participants will receive a certificate of course completion after the training.The training cost is $10 per farm and includes access to a virtual folder of recordkeeping templates, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), audit checklists, course presentations, and more resources.Note that this course differs from the Produce Safety Alliance Grower Training Course in that it is specifically geared toward the GAPs audit checklist versus the federal food safety laws (Food Safety Modernization Act's Produce Safety Rule). The PSA Grower Training Course is required by farms covered by the FSMA PSR as a requirement of inspections, whereas the GAPs audit is voluntary. Both trainings provide a useful background in food safety for produce farms of all scales. All farms are welcome to attend both courses.Please reach out to Elisabeth Hodgdon (eh528@cornell.edu or 518-650-5323) with questions and requests for accommodations. Requests for accommodations must be received by Feb. 1.The Zoom link will be emailed to you after you have registered. $10 Registration: https://enych.cce.cornell.edu/event_preregistration_new.php?id=2034 ========================================= Office Closed Monday, February 17, 2025 12:00 pm - 12:00 pm ========================================= Two - Day Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) training - CCE Onondaga Tuesday, March 4, 2025 8:30 am - 4:30 pm Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) TrainingFruit and vegetable growers and others interested in learning about produce safety, the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule, Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), and co-management of natural resources and food safety.Food Safety and GAP Training March 4th 8:30 am - 4:30 pm, over ZoomA full day of information to ensure that sound food safety practices are being used on a farm or produce handling facility.
