In a downtown Ogden neighborhood long defined as a food desert, entrepreneur Anne Dunaway has opened Urban Prairie Agriculture, a hydroponic indoor farm and small grocery store offering fresh, nutritious alternatives where only dollar stores and convenience shops once filled the gap. What started in her garage with trays of microgreens has grown into a facility producing lettuces, tomatoes, herbs, and strawberries year-round. Her mission goes beyond growing food: she wants to shorten the food chain, strengthen community health, and give Ogden residents access to local produce within walking distance. Despite city hurdles and delayed contracts, Dunaway is determined to make healthy food part of everyday life in Jefferson Park.
