Sandy View Farms received the Farmstead, Cropping, Livestock and Greenhouse verification in the Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP). MAEAP is an innovative proactive program that helps farms of all sizes and all commodities voluntary prevent or minimize agriculture pollution risks. It teaches farmers how to identify and prevent environmental risks and to comply with the state and federal environmental regulations. To become MAEAP verified, farmers must complete three comprehensive steps which include attending an educational seminar, conducting an on-arm risk assessment and passing a third party on-farm verification. Sandy View received their verification on July 25, 2012.
