| 5/3/24 | Episode 29: Certified Kitchens with Dr. Catherine Belisle | This month, Aaron and Adam get together with their colleague at the Cornell Maple Program, food scientist Dr. Catherine Belisle.

And the certification process is simpler than one might think. Though this episode focusses on experiences with the New York State certification system, the information should translate well to similar regulations in your state. As always, we're here to help.
