Small Scale Food Processor Association

The Small Scale Food Processor Association is a vibrant and growing organization.
  • Our members are local business people who support and expand local economies
  • Our members hire local people
  • Our members create local jobs
  • Our members contribute to local economies and sustainability
Small to us means “Local” – local jobs, local infrastructure, local taxes.
  • Our members are committed individuals dedicated to expanding their businesses.
  • Our members are well educated and informed, focused on infrastructure and resource development that will support small scale agri-food processing
  • “Small Scale” leads to “Large Scale” and greater economic contributions
  • Our members are eager to see the next generation of agricultural policy because they are the ones who have the most at stake and they are the ones who have the infrastructure to facilitate the implementation of the policies.

 

Assistance with Food Safety: Education and Funding

In 2011, the SSFPA will continue to deliver education and offer funding to food processors to implement GMP and/or HACCP-based food safety systems through the Food Safety Systems Implementation (Processor) Program. The purpose of this program is to provide education and support for processors across British Columbia to develop food safety plans. The Small Scale Food Processor Association is pleased to deliver this program on behalf of British Columbia food processors. Click here for more information on the program.
The Food Safety Systems Implementation (Processor) Program is offered as part of Growing Forward, a federal-provincial-territorial initiative. Funding for this program has been provided by Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada and the BC Ministry of Agriculture.
