​Produce Growers:
​
Have you taken the FSMA training, but finding it hard to write your on-farm food safety plan? Working with a buyer who may require a GAPs audit? Wanting to get your food safety plan (mostly) written in an efficient way with guidance…soon?
 
We are providing a one-on-one workshop opportunity through Indiana Farm Connect, a USDA Local Food Promotion Program Grant.
 
You will leave this two-day workshop with your food safety plan done or nearly done, and with lots of questions answered about your farm operation from a food safety expert. 

Looking to build relationships with farmers in Northwest Indiana

Does your farm sometimes have surplus produce? Produce that is perfectly good to eat, but isn’t going to make it to market? Society of St. Andrew can help you harvest and transport the excess to help feed those struggling to access fresh produce.
It’s simple. Farmers give us a call when there is produce to donate. We reach out to volunteers and organize the logistics, transportation and training to harvest and deliver the produce to a hunger relief agency. We keep track of all the pounds donated and where they were donated. At the end of the year farmers will receive an itemized letter listing the total number of pounds for each product which can then be used for tax deduction purposes.

Since opening the Indiana office in January of 2018, with the help of over 700 volunteers, SoSA-Indiana has helped to save and distribute over 300,000 pounds of fresh food to Indiana’s hungry residents.
