| Dear Nahid,
In between what seems like never-ending rain here in the Triangle, I hope you’re able to get your spring crops in the ground.
Since the forecast looks like more rain is to come, now might be a good time to check out CFSA’s online resources for growers and download some great record-keeping templates, review our food safety resources, or improve your post-harvest handling practices. And remember, if you need more technical assistance, we offer FREE consulting services on conservation planning, GAP certification, high tunnel production, and organic production and certification.
We will also be relaunching our Market Access Initiative next month and will be able to provide assistance to farmers on financial recordkeeping, postharvest handling, crop budgeting, feasibility studies, business planning, and more!
 Cheers,
Karen McSwain, CFSA Associate Executive Director for Programs
