FOOD SAFETY SERVICES

Clear, practical guidance for navigating food safety requirements.

I work with farms, producers, processors, and food hubs to build successful food safety programs that are realistic, usable, and aligned with how people actually work. My approach focuses on helping clients understand what’s required, why it matters, and how to integrate food safety into day-to-day operations—so that audit days feel smooth, grounded, and reflective of how the business actually runs.

Whether you’re preparing for a first audit, navigating new buyer requirements, or building systems that can grow with your business, I provide hands-on support that prioritizes clarity, confidence, and long-term sustainability.

  • I help farms and food businesses build food safety programs that are clear and practical. This includes identifying risks, creating usable systems, and documenting practices in ways that support day-to-day work—not just compliance.

    Customized food safety plans also serve as training and communication tools, helping staff understand expectations and showing inspectors and buyers that food safety is taken seriously.

    Support can include:

    Risk Assessments

    Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs)

    Employee training

    Food safety manuals and plans

    HACCP plans

    Recordkeeping systems

    And more, customized to your operation

  • I support farms and food businesses preparing for audits as part of their broader goals for growth and market access.
