This is a great session! You should go 😊

📣 SPEAKER ALERT! Cyclospora, E-Coli, Listeria, Oh My! It's a mock recall with Michelle Wallace of Central State University.

Being prepared for an unexpected food recall will help you and your farmers mitigate risk. While no one wants to have a recall associated with their market or farm, it is best to always be prepared. This “game” will help you better understand the steps needed to trace a food safety problem back to the source.

Interested in producing food in your home to sell?

One of our food safety specialists hosted a series of virtual webinars aimed at answering some commonly asked questions about important considerations.

While the webinars were previously recorded, the information is still important and relevant. These recorded webinars focus on:

1. What foods can be produced in-home?
2. Who can be a home baker or cottage food producer?
3. Where can home-produced foods be sold?
4. When should I reach out for help?

The answers to these questions and much more can be found in the respective recordings shared here: https://foodsafety.osu.edu/cottage-foods-home-bakeries/food-safety-webinars?utm_campaign=faes_marketing-activity_fy27&utm_content=1785244501&utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook

I love to talk farmer markets 😊

Farms large and small are an important part of Ohio's economy. One place where some farmers promote their business and sell their products are local community farmers markets.

We talked about the economics of Farmers’ Markets. Plus we learned about getting fresh produce to underserved communities.

Guests:

Christie Welch, program specialist, direct agricultural marketing, Ohio State University Extension

Chelsea Kayse, manager of the Worthington Farmers Market

Jason Wish, owner of Wishwell Farms

Sam Alexander, healthy eating and living program coordinator at Church and Community Development For All People
