Extension Hamilton County is proud to offer two sessions targeted to small
farmers, current or aspiring entrepreneurs, and others looking to profit from
foods they produce. If you fall into this category and are need of more
information for growing and producing safe, high-quality foods on food safety
regulations, consider the following programs.
On
Wednesday April 13th, I look forward to having
Sharon Pattee from Indiana State Department of Health, Food Protection
Program discussing 'home-based vendor' exemption in Indiana Law (HEA 1309).
She
will discuss if you can operate as a Home-Based Vendor or if you need to use a
Commercial Kitchen. She will also talk about certifications that may be
required.
On
April 20th, the final program with include food preparation
tips and keeping food safe at point of sale. Christina Ferroli, Marion
County Extension Educator will discuss some of the ‘bad
bugs’ to consider while dealing with fruits and vegetables and how to prepare
some products in your kitchen safely.
