Food safety is key to successfully selling honey and maple syrup in Michigan. Learn how to safely handle, package and store honey and maple syrup, and understand the exemption guidelines for selling these products in Michigan. Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development allows for collection and production of honey and maple syrup that can be sold without a license, and there is an expectation that this is done safely.  Personal hygiene, food safe containers, storage, cleaning and sanitizing methods, and MDARD’s exemption guidelines are topics covered on this workshop. 

Dates (additional dates will be added):
December 18, 2024 at 2 PM
