Do you run a small, diversified farming operation? Do you have post-harvest bottlenecks or pain points? Are you planning improvements to a produce wash/pack facility? Join WSDA Regional Markets and Produce Safety teams for a virtual workshop on “Designing a Wash/Pack with Produce Safety in Mind.” Participants will leave the workshop with an understanding of the basic components of wash/pack design and how to find ways to increase post-harvest operational efficiency and produce safety. In this 1-hour interactive session we will cover:
Understanding wash/pack “zones”
Choosing materials/equipment/tools
Designing for flow of people, product, water, and waste
Writing a Standard Operating Procedure
This workshop will be provided with simultaneous Spanish interpretation.
