Sugarhouse Certification: Resources

Part of VMSMA's Certification program works to ensure your operation has an Operations Manual and that the manual is up-to-date. VMSMA and our Education Committee (made up of your peers) has done the heavy lifting! 

If you're starting from scratch with your Operational Manual and other documentation, our templates (below) will give you a starting point for the required documentation. If you already have a Manual, these templates could enhance, update or augment your existing documentation.

The templates are all available as individual PDF documents, so you can print or download only what you need and adapt each to fit your specific operation. Some of the templates are written for specific models of equipment; you'll need to adapt the templates to reflect your actual equipment (e.g., we're not suggesting that each piece of equipment has the same cleaning protocol!).

Each item below is labeled to correspond with where they appear in the VMSMA Sugarhouse Certification Checklist.
