Tripp Family Farm: Where Cattle Enjoy a Home on the Range

June 11, 2018 by Aimee L. Cook Leave a Comment

Situated on 700 acres in Richmond, Utah, Tripp Family Farm has taken a distinctive approach to cattle farming. Managed by Mark and Adam Tripp, the farm that has been in Adam’s family since the 1860s has evolved into a place where sick animals are nursed back to health and healthy animals that have lived long, happy lives, are treated and harvested in the most  humane ways … [Read more...]

Bill White Farms: Products for People, not Corporate Profit

June 7, 2018 by Heather L. King Leave a Comment

If a man is lucky, there comes a point when his life’s work and his legacy combine to benefit others. Bill White is a lucky fellow in this respect. His name has been synonymous with delicious food in Utah for the past 25 years.

Bangerter Family Farm Wins Zoning Battle for Farmland Usage

June 6, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Alan Bangerter is no stranger to moving his farming operations in the name of “progress,” which usually comes in the form of freeways built on top of and replacing fertile farm ground. The Legacy of Legacy   In 1999 UDOT moved the main Bangerter family farm (30 acres that they bought in the 1970s). The farm was located in the intended path of the Legacy Parkway , so … [Read more...]

Support Our Local Farmers

June 4, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

A local former state leader said to me last month, "Utah is for certain in the top three states when it comes to corruption in the form of crony capitalism." I might have guessed this, but to hear it confirmed by a former state employee of a high rank was a surprise. He didn’t wish to have his name on the record. But this issue is very closely related to our farm issue because … [Read more...]

Backyard Urban Gardens Bring Garden Bounty Right to your Doorstep

May 9, 2018 by Darby Doyle Leave a Comment

B.U.G. Farms: Crusaders for Community Supported Agriculture “I thought she was crazy and that it would never work,” says Backyard Urban Gardens (B.U.G.) Farms’ co-owner Carly Gillespie of the organization’s creator, Sharon Leopardi. “She didn’t have any start-up capital, was a renter, and didn’t have any garden space.

Sandhill Farm: Pete Rasmussen’s Clove of Garlic

April 23, 2018 by Paige Wiren Leave a Comment

Ask any old-time farmer in Ogden Valley how he decided what crop to grow. Chances are he’s not going to say that the beauty of alfalfa captured him in a moment of deep spiritual recognition. But that’s how farmer Pete Rasmussen tuned in to the living organism Allium sativum, or garlic. “I had a connection to the plant from the first moment and something sparked inside me,” Pete … [Read more...]

Farms vs. Suburbia: Does Population Growth Mean the End of Family Farms?

April 12, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The Wasatch Front has been growing out rather than up for years. Sprawl is now threatening Utah’s most successful family farms. Over eighty percent of Utah residents say they want more farms, open space, and locally produced food, but it appears that city, state and local leaders haven’t received the memo. As with most things political, it’s all about the money. Thayne … [Read more...]

Is The FDA Preventing Us From Eating Healthier?

January 24, 2018 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Foodborne illnesses claim 2400 lives in the United States every year. These lives are lost despite the best efforts of the CDC (Center for Disease Control) and the FDA (Food and Drug Administration), with a combined spending of $15.6 billion on meat recalls, and $56 million in total food recalls. Let's consider just the meat recalls for a moment: $15.6 billion. The total … [Read more...]

Rock Hill Creamery

July 24, 2017 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

In recent years, farmers markets have been popping up around Utah nearly as quickly as actual farmland has been disappearing. Most of the markets offering locally grown produce and handcrafted goods tend to sprout up in parks or parking lots during the summer months, but the Harvest Market held each Saturday in the northern Cache Valley city of Richmond, is among the few held … [Read more...]

High Altitude Organic

June 21, 2017 by Brian Fryer Leave a Comment

What began as an effort to produce locally sourced, organic food for one Park City family nearly 10 years ago has blossomed into a community cooperative with approximately 90 members, as well as a public farm stand featuring products created mostly by members of the co-op “family.” Copper Moose Farm, on the flatland of the Snyderville basin just outside Park City, is owned … [Read more...]
