A fully covered farm would have a status letter from the Produce Safety Program advising that their farm is covered and would have spoken to one of our inspectors to schedule an initial on-farm inspection. If you’re uncertain if you’ve had an inspection by our program, we can look up your farm name and verify your status within our farm inventory.
