The event will be hosted by the New Hampshire and Vermont Departments of Agriculture on Tuesday, August 20, 2013 from 9:30 AM to 12:30 PM at the Hopkins Center on the campus of Dartmouth College in Hanover. The session will specifically focus on FDA’s proposed rules for implementing the Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA), a 2011 law revamping food safety laws to increase the safety of our food supply. Small farmers across New Hampshire and New England could be substantially impacted by these regulatory overhauls.
The Northwood Area Farmers Market Association was founded in 2008 to bring fresh locally produced and grown food and value added products from local businesses to the community. We hope to help local businesses market their products and promote sustainable agriculture and economic growth. Market dates and hours: Every Tuesday from 3-6 pm from mid-May to early October.
