Produce Safety Special Feature: Getting to Know Vermont’s Agricultural Water

November 5, 2018

The Vermont Produce Program dove deep into agricultural water this past summer to better understand the PSR’s current water requirements for water sampling, developed water sampling resources, and toured Vermont’s agricultural water sources with produce growers, University of Vermont Extension, and FDA.

On-Farm Readiness Reviews

An On-Farm Readiness Review (OFRR) is a non-regulatory, free assessment of a farm’s readiness for inspection under the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) Produce Safety Rule. This is an opportunity for an individualized one-on-one conversation and farm walk-around with the Produce Safety Program from the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food, & Markets and Produce Safety Specialists from University of Vermont (UVM) Extension. The reviewers will evaluate pre-harvest, harvest, and post-harvest conditions and practices.
