Farm, Produce & Packinghouse Programs

We build farm food safety programs for growers, packinghouses, and produce operations, covering GAP, GHP, and FSMA Produce Safety Rule compliance from the field through packing. We work with clients in Florida, across the United States, and internationally.

About

Food Safety Built for the Way Produce Actually Moves

Produce safety looks different at every stage, from field practices through harvest, packing, and worker hygiene. We build the GAP and GHP programs, sampling protocols, and FSMA Produce Safety Rule documentation that match how your farm or packinghouse actually operates. Browse the services below, or reach out and we’ll walk through what your operation needs.

Farm, Produce & Packinghouse Programs

Food safety programs built specifically for farm, produce, and packinghouse operations, from field practices through packing and worker hygiene.
See Our Results

Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Program Development

Cover field-level practices like water use, soil amendments, and worker hygiene during growing and harvest. We build the program to match the specific crops and growing methods your farm uses.

Good Handling Practices (GHP) Program Development

Cover how produce is handled, packed, and stored after harvest to prevent contamination. This includes equipment sanitation, cold chain management, and facility conditions.

Farm Food Safety Program Development

Build a complete food safety program tailored to your farm's specific crops, layout, and operations. This ties GAP practices, worker training, and recordkeeping into one working system.

FSMA Produce Safety Rule Compliance

Meet the specific requirements of the FSMA Produce Safety Rule, including agricultural water standards, biological soil amendments, and worker training. We help determine which parts of the rule apply to your operation and build the documentation to prove compliance.

Pre-Harvest & Post-Harvest Food Safety Programs

Address food safety risks at both ends of the production cycle, from field conditions before harvest to handling immediately after. This keeps contamination risks covered at every stage, not just one.

Packinghouse Food Safety Program Development

Develop the food safety documentation and procedures specific to packing operations, from receiving through shipping. We account for the equipment, traffic flow, and product handling unique to your packhouse.

ATP Testing & Sanitation Verification

Verify that cleaning and sanitation procedures are actually removing residue from equipment and surfaces. This gives you objective proof that your sanitation program is working, not just an assumption.

Microbiological Sampling Programs

Set up water, soil, and produce sampling schedules to catch contamination risks before they become a problem. We help interpret results and build a response plan for anything that comes back positive.

Worker Food Safety & Hygiene Programs

Train field and packing crews on hygiene practices, illness reporting, and safe handling procedures. Well-trained workers are one of the most effective controls against contamination.

Frequently Asked Questions

A farm food safety program documents the practices a farm follows to reduce contamination risk during growing, harvesting, and handling, covering areas like water use, worker hygiene, and equipment sanitation. It typically supports compliance with the FSMA Produce Safety Rule and Good Agricultural Practices standards.
Good Agricultural Practices, or GAP, covers field-level growing and harvesting practices, while Good Handling Practices, or GHP, covers how produce is handled, packed, and stored after harvest. Many operations need both, depending on whether they grow, pack, or do both.
Yes. We work with farms, produce operations, and packinghouses based in Florida as well as operations across the United States and internationally.
The FSMA Produce Safety Rule applies to most farms growing, harvesting, packing, or holding fruits and vegetables typically eaten raw, with some exemptions based on sales volume and the type of produce grown. We help farms determine whether the rule applies and what it requires.
ATP testing measures residual organic material on surfaces to verify that cleaning and sanitation procedures actually removed it. Packinghouses use it to confirm equipment and surfaces are properly cleaned between production runs.
Some small farms qualify for exemptions or modified requirements under the FSMA Produce Safety Rule based on sales volume, but most buyers and retailers still expect a documented food safety program regardless of exemption status. We help small farms build a program sized to their actual operation.
Sampling frequency depends on your crop, water source, and risk factors, but most operations sample water and produce on a recurring schedule throughout the growing season. We help set an appropriate sampling schedule based on your specific operation.
Yes. We prepare packinghouses for FSMA Produce Safety Rule inspections and GHP audits, including documentation review, mock inspections, and corrective action support if issues are found.
