Speaking on Business: Downtown Farmers Market

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. The Downtown Farmers Market’s mission is to support sustainable agriculture, build community and make local food accessible year-round. Joining us to share more about the Winter Market is Carly Gillespie, Deputy Director at the Urban Food Connections of Utah. Carly Gillespie: The Downtown Farmers Market is a Salt Lake City tradition, and we’re excited to announce a new chapter for our Winter Market. Now hosted at the Civic Center, formerly the Leonardo Museum, in downtown Salt Lake City all season long. We will be filling that space with sights, smells and flavors of Utah’s best local food every Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Our farmers are extending their growing seasons so you will still find fresh produce like carrots, garlic, onions and beets alongside artisan breads, cheeses, sauces and meats. Plus, Utah’s best makers and crafters will have that perfect holiday gift. It’s more than a market, it’s a community gathering place that connects you directly with the people who grow and create your food. So bundle up, bring a friend and come see us this winter at the Civic Center, 209 E 500 S, every Saturday from 10 to 2. Learn more at slcfarmersmarket.org. Derek Miller: Shopping at the Downtown Farmers Market during winter helps support small businesses and local farmers. Your purchases keep money in the community, help entrepreneurs thrive and provide fresh, unique products that aren’t available anywhere else.
