Thank you for visiting the National Center for Home Food Preservation. >I'm interested in information regarding community-scale food preservation and canning for the purposes of advancing a certified kitchen/cannery in Ithaca NY. If you have any recommended resources that you could point me to, I would appreciate it very much. Ryan, At this point in time, we have little current information and guidance available. I will try to find a 1980's book from Univ. of Georgia Extension and send you what it contained, but it doesn't tell much about options of what's available......and most importantly, it doesn't have the current processing recommendations. Most of the information nationally is from the 1970s or earlier and hard to find and use at this point. I do know if it were Georgia, you would have to meet state Dept. of Agriculture requirements for processing and selling of food processed in the state. That agency has basic sanitation and facility standards that must be met, and inspects the kitchens. I would see if NY has the same. Cornell University has a food entrepreneurship center to help small food processors get started, so I would ask advice from them also (unless you already have since you are in Ithaca). http://www.nysaes.cornell.edu/necfe/ I will access what I can from our state requirements for our school-based community canneries in GA and forward it to you, also. The last person that oversaw audits of those in GA and trained the supervisors retired from UGA a few years ago. If you are interested in possibly paying him a consultant fee, let me know and I can put you in touch with him.
