FSMA: Produce Grower Certification Training (PSA) - Philadelphia, PA
The course will provide fruit and vegetable growers & processors a foundation of Good Agricultural Practices (GAPs), food safety information, FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements, and details on how to develop a farm food safety plan. Even if you are not required to have the certificate, it is excellent food safety training and also coordinates well with GAP certification requirements.
The PSA certified trainers will spend approximately seven hours of instruction time covering content contained in these seven modules:
- Introduction to Produce Safety
- Worker Health, Hygiene, and Training
- Soil Amendments
- Wildlife, Domesticated Animals, and Land Use
- Agricultural Water (Part I: Production Water; Part II:
- Postharvest Water)
- Postharvest Handling and Sanitation

To receive an AFDO certificate, a participant must be present for the entire training and submit the appropriate paperwork to their trainer at the end of the course.
