4/16/2025 - 4/23/2025

  

Adapted from NMFMA's Minimum Standards and practices in alignment with FSMA guidance, these in-person trainings are tailored for NM’s small to medium size producers. Bringing food safety concepts to life, the Tier 1 training explores food safety hazards that may be present on farms and highlights practices to mitigate those risks.
