Good Agricultural Practices

The Georgia Fruit and Vegetable Growers Association offers a unique membership benefit with the Georgia Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Food Safety Program. We offer food safety education and consultation through:  

  • One-on-one mock audits in the field and packing facility
  • Assisting in the set up and development of food safety programs, SOPs and documentation, and
  • Conducting 3rd party food safety audits for the Georgia GAP Food Safety Program and affiliated audits through Primus Labs

 We can help you with tips to begin your food safety program, find resources to enhance your farm or packing facility, or find continuing education for the latest food safety developments.
