You’ve heard all about the benefits of drip irrigation for your crops, but what about food safety? This month Grower’s Toolbox has an expert tip on the best practices of drip irrigation when it comes to food safety. It’s written by our new Local Produce Safety Coordinator, Tay Fatke who helps support CFSA’s food safety initiatives and can answer your questions about food safety. While we have your attention on irrigation, have you read CFSA’s High Tunnel Micro Irrigation Guide? Plus – if you didn’t have time to keep up with the discussion of hydroponics and the organic label, we’ve summarized it for you in this four-part blog series.

Cheers,

Karen McSwain, CFSA’s Director of Farm Services and Food Systems
