I understand that I will be trained in proper and hygienic harvesting and packing procedures, and agree to always abide by these procedures when doing these activities on the farm.

I understand that this waiver and release is intended to be as broad and inclusive as permitted by the laws of New York State, and that it shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of New York State. I agree that if any portion of this waiver and release is invalid, the remainder will continue in full legal force and effect.
