Fruit trees need proper pruning to remain productive. This hands-on workshop will cover why pruning is
important, when to prune and fertilize fruit trees, tools and safety, and how to evaluate a tree and determine
which branches to cut. Following a 30 minute information session, participants will work in small groups with real
trees. Each group will tie ribbons onto the branches to simulate where cuts should be made. Discussion will occur
among attendees as well as with the instructor to discuss and analyze options for pruning. The instructor will
discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different cut locations and how this will affect the overall shape and
structure of the tree. This class will be held outside. Participants should be prepared for cold/wet weather and
dress accordingly. No tools needed.

received under standardized curriculum recognized as adequate by the Food and Drug Administration.’
The course will provide a foundation of FSMA Produce Safety Rule requirements and details on how to
develop a farm food safety plan. Individuals who participate in this course are expected to gain a basic
understanding of:
Microorganisms relevant to produce safety and where they may be found on the farmH
How to identify microbial risks, practices that reduce risks, and how to begin implementing produce
safety practices on the farm
Parts of a farm food safety plan and how to begin writing one
Requirements in the FSMA Produce Safety Rule and how to meet them.
