FARMERS MARKET GUIDELINES

forwarded via the Missouri Beginning Farmers Program and Growing Growers

The Farmers Market Federation of New York and Cornell Cooperative Extension have developed guidelines for farmers and farmers market managers, to ensure that foods sold in direct-marketing outlets will be protected from potential contamination. The project team has developed a curriculum for farm service providers to use in training farmers and market managers in assessing the risks in their retail operations and adopting guidelines that will minimize those risks.


The curriculum can be found at the Farmers Market Federation of New York website
