In January, North Shore EVP and AgriLogic LLC conducted a free workshop titled the “Nuts & Bolts of Food Safety” for fellow gardeners and farmers. Attendees walked away with a better understanding of food safety practices enabling them to distribute clean, local produce across our North Shore community. Gardeners learned how to build a simple, inexpensive mobile hand-washing station that meets their operation’s needs for worker hygiene in the field.
“We love the opportunity to engage with people in the community who are passionate about agriculture,” said Kevin Kelly, North Shore EVP President. “Much of our work is focused on providing food safety training to farmers across the state, but understanding the principles of food safety is just as important to people growing food for their families and friends.”
North Shore EVP is a Turtle Bay Foundation grant recipient and its members care for their very own Laulima Gardens plot.
