What is MIONFPS?
The Michigan On-Farm Produce Safety (MIONFPS) is a free, voluntary, non-regulatory and confidential program that provides produce farmers with produce safety technicians who offer resources to assess and improve current produce farming practices.
Produce Safety Risk Assessment (PSRA)

such as:
Action Plans
Food Safety Plans
Water Testing

Wash Pack Consultations
Microbial Risk Mitigation.
On-Farm Readiness Review (OFRR)
