This publication provides a basic guide to understanding food-safety issues relevant to California certified farmers markets and agritourism operations. It is designed for farmers, ranchers, and certified farmers market managers, but can also be useful as a resource for educating employees about food safety concerns and regulations, and as a reference for other agricultural professionals.

This publication is also available in a traditional Chinese version, as a free download. Limited printed copies of the Chinese translation are also available from the Small Farm Center.
