On the Farm: Opportunities in CanadaGAP (@ Shuswap Organics)

March 5 @ 9:00 am - 12:00 pm

Get CanadaGAP certification ready!

In this unique on-farm session, an auditor and a consultant will walk you through a mock audit of a certified organic operation, using the CanadaGAP audit checklist.

We will help you build on your knowledge of CanadaGAP certification and the audit process by demonstrating what to expect during a CanadaGAP farm audit. And, we will also share audit preparation tips to help you find success.

Bring your boots and clipboards and join us for a morning of practical learning on the farm!

This session will be outdoors and offered rain or shine, please dress appropriately for the morning. Coffee and light refreshments will be provided.
