The Letcher County Extension Service partners with the City of Whitesburg farmers market to train producers on safe production and food-handling techniques to safe-guard our food supply. The program is an annual requirement to sell at the market, ensuring that all growers have a refresher before the growing season begins. The program utilizes materials developed by the University of Kentucky along with state & federal partners. This year's series taught 76 clientele, with 92% scoring a 100 on the post-test exam. Participants commented that the program causes them to take food-safety seriously and 97% report taking steps to limit food-born contaminants from tainting their produce.
