New World Distillery World Deaf Day tour — New World Distillery

On September 28, New World Distillery will add a tour for the Deaf at 3:30 pm.

The tour for the Deaf in Eden, Utah, is curated by Chris Cross with two interpreters on hand to interpret the tour and tasting for those in attendance.

The World Deaf Day is celebrated every last weekend of September on a Sunday. As required by law the distillery is closed on Sundays, so owners Chris and Ashley Cross have added a tour at 3:30 on the Saturday before World Deaf Day: Saturday, 28 September.

Ashley said, “I have a long-time friend whose wife is deaf. Together, the three of us sort of hatched this idea to offer a curated and interpreted tour for those who might otherwise miss out on such an experience because of their deafness.” Ashley hopes this will become an annual event at New World Distillery.

Registration

Registration required for the tour. And because a full flight of spirit tastings is included, there is a fee. “The fee is the same as for any of our public tour,” the owners explain.

The fee is $20 per person. To register your party, e-mail Ashley at ashley@NewWorldDistillery.com .

The Utah Farm That Refuses to Give Up as Development Closes In

Running a farm is hard enough, but rapid city growth makes it even tougher. More than a decade ago, the late Verl Cook faced a series of staggering hurdles that threatened to wipe out his family’s livelihood.

First, the city decided to treat the Cook’s greenhouse — the most profitable part of the farm — like a big-box retail store. They demanded the family build a paved parking lot, a project that would cost $200,000.

Future Craft Farm Launches First CSA Season in Salt Lake City

Hall and Scheig found their land last June and broke ground just two months later, transforming what was essentially a blank canvas into a diversified market garden. This year marks their first full growing season, and they’re launching it with a community supported agriculture program, or CSA. CSAs allow people to support local growers by purchasing a season’s worth of produce upfront, giving farmers the financial stability they need during the most expensive part of the year.

Utah’s Housing Debate Misses the Question That Matters Most

A generation ago, homeownership was not reserved for the affluent. Working-class families bought modest homes on modest incomes. They built equity, raised families, and entered retirement with a valuable asset largely paid for.

Today, many Utah families find themselves in a different position. They may earn too much to qualify for housing assistance but too little to purchase a home. They rent apartments that consume an increasing share of their income while saving for a down payment becomes increasingly difficult.

Every institution should be subject to scrutiny, and TOSA is no exception. But after reading the article, I was left asking a different question: Why is this level of scrutiny almost never applied to the homelessness industry itself?
