To make sure our food safety goals are met, we have also designated John Q. Farmer as supervisor to oversee the food safety program. These safe practices include making sure there is no immediate safety risk present in areas where the produce is grown, processed, and packed and that there is no immediate risk of contamination of the product. We also make sure that insects, rodents, birds, and pets pose no risk of contamination of our product. It is also a priority that all our employees follow healthy practices when working at our farm. We also make it our mission to make sure all information and paperwork is documented in an efficient and truthful manner. Our farm also has maps available of the farm along with floor plans

We intend to deliver, for the people of Massachusetts and beyond, a public university that shares the same qualities of excellence, impact, and outcomes as the best public universities in the nation and the world.
