Use this form to register for the SafePlates for Farmers Markets program! This class is designed to help both market vendors and market managers improve their knowledge of food safety risks present at farmers' markets, provide guidance for best practices to implement to minimize food safety risks from harvest to sale, and how to safely offer food samples to market customers. We will also have virtual reality headsets for you to experience situations at a farm and a farmers' market to help raise your awareness of food safety and associated risks of handling food intended for market.
