During harvest it means scrubbing hands, harvest knives, and totes sanitizing our Washing and Packing Rooms quickly hydrating and cooling crops in clean water and packing each item in clean, sanitized produce bins for storage at the proper temperature in our coolers. Food safety begins in the field with attention to detail and maintaining a clean field environment. This includes scouting for any potential problems in the field (deer, birds) and noting their impact on the crops. From planting to harvest, each stage is inspected to ensure it meets our strict food safety standards. We have taken the initiative to develop and implement a rigorous food safety system on our farm to ensure that we are providing the safest possible produce for our CSA members and customers at our farmers' markets. It extends to the way we plant, grow, harvest, inspect, wash, handle, package and deliver our freshly-picked produce to you. Our commitment to safe food starts with our choice to farm organically, which we have been doing since we started farming in 1996.
