Small and medium sized growers trying to process and sell valued added products use the Kentucky State University's mobile processing unit. The focus of this workshop is to teach them the basics of food safety, hygiene, and regulatory requirements specified by the Kentucky Food Safety Branch. Participants received a training completion certificate if they scored more than 70% in the post-training test. This certificate is accepted by the Kentucky Food Safety Branch, which authorizes them to sell their products at framers markets approved by KDA and roadside stands approved by Kentucky Farm Bureau. In 2018, thirteen small and medium sized processors participated and successfully passed the post-training test to earn a certificate.
