This workshop is intended for small (< $1 million in sales/year) producers of fermented, canned, and other shelf-stable foods.

Attendees should leave with completed or nearly completed food safety documentation for size exemptions, Good Manufacturing Practices, and Preventive Control Food Safety Plans as relevant.

1. Workshop is limited to the first 20 registrants. Additional registrants will be added to a wait list and additional workshops may be scheduled as needed to meet demand.
2. The workshop fee is $25/person and includes lunch and materials.
3. Prior food safety training is recommended but not required prior to enrollment.
4. Attendees who wish to work on digital versions of their plans are encouraged to bring their own laptops.
