The Downtown Farmer's Market is open for the season! It opened on our wedding day and I really wanted to go, but we ran out of time, imagine that! So we went last weekend for the first time. There isn't a lot of produce ready yet, but that didn't stop the crowds. It was busy, busy! This year they added new sidewalks all around Pioneer Park. I think it will help with the congestion. Luckily, the park is shady and a great place to spend Saturday mornings. There are lots of things to see and taste.
In addition to the produce, the Market also offers a variety of fresh baked breads and pastries, cheeses, meat and seafood, jams and honeys, house and garden plants, arranged planters, and numerous handmade arts & crafts. Unique food vendors also are a part of the Market, offering prepared foods and beverages. You can also listen to live music, watch cooking demonstrations, and I always have fun looking at the dogs! Just watch where you step!
If you are looking for a fun Saturday activity, check out the Farmer's Market. The produce gets better as the summer moves along. I can't wait for watermelon, eggplant, squash, sweet corn, and of course Utah peaches! So support your local farmer's and head on down!! Give us a call if you want to meet up, we go early:)
When: Saturdays - June 14 thru Oct 18
Time: 8:00 am to 1:00 pm
Where: Historic Pioneer Park (300 South & 300 West)
