New Hampshire producers can sell poultry and rabbits (up to 20,000 whole poultry and 1,000 whole rabbits per calendar year) directly to NH restaurants without USDA inspection. For producers to legally sell their products in this way, they must complete this initial 1 day certification course with UNH Cooperative Extension and recertify after five years. The class is also open to anyone who would like to learn about these topics but does not necessarily want to sell to restaurants.
Topics include:
- Regulations on selling poultry & rabbits
- Health of Animals
- Facilities & Equipment
- Personal Hygiene
- Cleaning & Sanitizing
- Temperature Control
- Labeling & Recordkeeping
- Steps to Certification
Guest speakers include:
Royann Bossidy, New Hampshire DHHS, Food Protection Section
Thomas Collaro, USDA Food Safety & Inspection Services
Ann Hamilton, Food Safety Field Specialist from UNH Extension
Katrina Klobucher, Livestock Production Field Specialist from UNH Extension
Cost: $50 per person with $25 for each additional person from the same farm
