What are the guidelines in the State of Maryland<\/span>?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The goal of drying herbs is to create a safe product with a long shelf life. The Maryland Department of Health (MDH) defines a dried product\u2019s safety through measuring the water activity (Aw), which represents the amount of water available for bacteria, yeast, and mold growth. This is different from water content. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reach the desired moisture level, the MDH recommends utilizing a commercial food dehydrator or a commercial dryer, which uses combinations of temperature, humidity and air flow that can be controlled.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Worker Training Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/11\/Worker-Training-Tips.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Reducing Cross-Contamination between Animals and Produce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/11\/Reducing-Cross-Contamination-between-Animals-and-Produce-Newsletter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ HERE<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>What Face Mask is Right for the Job?<\/em><br>Dr. Jennifer Timmons, Assistant Professor<br>Department of Agriculture, Food and Resources Sciences<br>Dr. Jon Moyle, Extension Poultry Specialist,<br>University of Maryland College Park&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"70\" height=\"70\" src=\"https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1200w, https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177-300x300.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 300w, https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177-1024x1024.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 1024w, https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177-150x150.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 150w, https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177-768x768.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 768w, https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177-200x200.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 200w, https:\/\/b1984854.smushcdn.com\/1984854\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/noun_Peer-Reviewed_783177-50x50.png?lossy=0&amp;strip=1&amp;webp=1 50w\"><em><strong>This publication has been peer-reviewed!<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/wwwcp.umes.edu\/extension\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/139\/2022\/01\/What-Face-Mask-is-Right-for-the-Job-Timmons-Final.pdf\">Read Article &gt;&gt;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UMES Extension Archive Agritourism Program Maryland Agritourism: A Baseline Profile 2023K.U.
