Primary Production Farm • An operation under one management in one general,
but not necessarily contiguous, location • Devoted to the growing of crops, the harvesting of
crops, the raising of animals, or any combination of these activities – The definition has been expanded to include
operations that just grow crops and operations that just harvest crops.
Preventive Controls for Human Food rule expands it further to cover two kinds of farming operations: Primary production
Secondary activities

Primary Production Farm • In addition to these activities, a primary
production farm can: – Pack or hold RACs (regardless of who grew
or raised them) – Manufacture/process, pack, or hold processed
foods so long as: • all such food is consumed on that farm or another
farm under the same management; or • the manufacturing/processing falls into limited
categories

Secondary Activities Farm • An operation not located on a primary production
farm that is devoted to harvesting, packing, and/or holding RACs.
• The primary production farm(s) that grow, harvest, and/or raise the majority of those RACs must own or jointly own a majority interest in the secondary activities farm.
• The definition also allows certain, limited additional manufacturing/processing, packing, and holding – Same as those for a primary production farm
