Food safety continues even after fruits and vegetables leave the field.

How produce is harvested, handled and stored can all play a role in keeping it safe for customers. New Hampshire and Maine farmers build these practices into their daily work to help reduce food safety risks from harvest and beyond.

Through UNH Extension’s Jumpstart to Produce Safety mini-video series, local farmers share how they put these practices into action on their own farms, offering practical examples for other growers and giving consumers a closer look at the care that goes into keeping local produce safe.

Explore the collection of short videos to hear directly from NH and ME farmers about safe harvest and postharvest practices. Link in comments!
