Time to get your hungry on! As summer begins in Utah so does the Saturday Farmer’s Market in downtown Salt Lake City. Since its inception in 1992, the Downtown Farmer’s Market has become a summer tradition for Salt Lake City residents and visitors.
The summer market opens Saturday, June 14 from 8 am-2 pm at Pioneer Park (300 South 300 West). Open every Saturday until October 25 you will find a smorgasbord of programs, events, and of course fresh produce and artisan cooking. Summer crops include: greens, herbs, asparagus, strawberries, kale, and spinach to name a few. Also shop for your favorite baked goods, locally-raised meats, jams, sauces and so many more downtown Farmer’s Market favorites. Don’t put on your fat pants yet-with all this local produce, it’s actually healthy to eat food that tastes this good.
Farmer’s Markets allow local growers and food and craft artisans to sell directly to the public. It couldn’t be easier to eat local food, which is healthier, and support your local economy. Win! Win! Come August 5th, the Tuesday Market at Pioneer Park will be back, running from 4 p.m. to dusk. Those of you who work downtown can get all of your fresh produce needs without having to come back on the weekend.
“Did you ever stop to taste a carrot? Not just eat it, but taste it? You can’t taste the beauty and energy of the earth in a Twinkie.” – Astrid Alauda
