Farmers Markets
Everyone loves farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, but not everyone has the land, time or skill to grow their own. Salt Lake area farmers markets offer all of the bounty with none of the sweat. Besides produce, most farmers markets offer local honey, baked goods, prepared food, beverages, craft items and entertainment.
