The Michigan Farmers Market Association (MIFMA), in partnership with the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD), will be hosting four trainings throughout the state on Cooking Demonstrations and Safe Food Samples at Farmers Markets. In March of this year, MDARD released new guidelines and licensing options to allow farmers markets to conduct cooking demonstrations and provide safe food samples during market hours with a single license. The trainings are free and open to market managers, nutrition educators, chefs and regulators and will provide information on licensing requirements, proper protocol and best practices for educating consumers about safe food handling.
