Blue Meadows Farm Labs LLC proposes to develop and commercialize a cost-effective and easy-to-use system that supports farmer-owned facility compliance with FDA Good Manufacturing Practice.The basic methods and approaches to collect and product data and results will include surveys, interviews, documentation of farmer growing and harvesting processes for herbs, software specification analysis and cost analysis, field testing, software user tests, and documentation comparison between farming/manufacturing processes and requirements.The ultimate goal of this project is to develop a suite of tools and processes to support small and mid-size farms and farm manufacturers in their efforts to meet Good Manufacturing Process (cGMP) requirements for dietary supplements. The anticipated results are a set of processes, analytical tools, and documentation that will represent an economically feasible method for farmer-owned herbal supplement manufacturers to meet these FDA requirements.
