As part of our food safety focus group series, we also wanted to include some in-depth conversations with subject matter experts about topics that seemed particularly relevant for your farms. In this interview, we chat with farmer and Young Farmers board member Roberto Meza from Emerald Gardens in CO about Group GAP certification. This is a two-part conversation, and in this second part, we'll explore Roberto’s experience during the audit.
