农民资源
Many fruit and vegetable producers in San Juan County sell direct-to-consumer, 比如在农场摊位或农贸市场. 然而, there are many opportunities to sell produce in other markets as well—such as schools, 餐厅, 和机构. While the 火博体育 丰收食品中心 will help facilitate these sales, below are some resources for farmers to make the connections independently.
销售新产品的小贴士：
- 讲述你的农场故事
- Make personal connections—introduce yourself (it's all about relationships and communication)
- 建立你的市场并为之成长
- 了解行业标准（包装、分级等）.)
通用资源:
向学校销售：
While most schools source the majority of their produce from large-scale distributors at low cost, districts are not required to purchase all produce from a single distributor. 事实上, New Mexico has funding options in place to increase local produce in school lunches across the state. It is best to reach out to the food service coordinator at your local school district to inquire about selling to schools.
向餐厅销售：
Restaurants can be a reliable customer for your quality local produce. Locally owned 餐厅 often benefit from having local produce on their menus, especially if this can be communicated to the customers. Be sure to work with the 餐厅 to communicate your farm story.
在餐厅工作时, it is essential to ensure constant communication and quality of the product. It is best to contact the Executive Chef about starting sales to local 餐厅. Keep in mind that 餐厅 may have small order sizes and require frequent delivery.
In 2011, 《火博体育官网》签署成为法律, 制定生产安全规则（PSR）. The Produce Safety Rule gives regulatory power of fresh produce to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). While it has always been illegal to sell contaminated produce, there are new requirements with exemptions based on dollar of sales and whom you are selling to. The exemption that most likely applies to farmers in San Juan County is for any farmer who sells less than $25,000英镑的农产品. Another exemption is for farmers who sell less than $500,000 in food (a category that includes more than produce) if half is sold to a certified end user. Some of these concepts and definitions can be confusing, so be sure to check out the resources below to understand what requirements affect your farm business.
除了联邦生产安全要求, many wholesale buyers require separate food safety audits from their producers. The most common is “Good Agricultural Practices” (GAP), a regulatory body that farmers may choose to become certified through. 许多大型机构, 比如杂货连锁店和分销公司, 要求他们购买的农场通过GAP认证.
在新墨西哥州, farmers interested in selling to the schools (who are not already GAP certified) will be required to comply with a separate set of food safety practices. NMFMA and La Montañita Coop offer “Tier 1” and “Tier 2” Farm food safety trainings, as well as provide a document for an on-farm risk assessment.
Even if you are not interested in selling to the schools or becoming GAP certified, it is a good idea to have a farm food safety plan and attend trainings on farm food safety to protect yourself. 再一次。, 销售受污染的农产品仍然是违法的, and having a food safety and traceability plan in place can give your customers confidence that any sickness they have did not come from your farm.
