The food regulatory landscape in Minnesota is complex, but there are pathways for farmers and other local food entrepreneurs to sell what they grow and make – and for local businesses and institutions to buy it.
Learn how federal, state, and local laws and agencies interact in the realm of food licensing. Understand the basics of food regulation to ensure food safety. Gain insight on how to navigate the system and how to access help if you get stuck.
This training is free and open to public. Extension and SHIP educators, community organizers, farmers’ market managers, farmer organization leaders, school board members, school food service directors, economic development staff, public health staff, health care facility administrators and food service directors, community or school garden coordinators, grocery store and restaurant owners, farmers, and food makers are all invited.
