Hobby Farming in Utah: Gov’t Forces one Man to Sell Land

June 16, 2015 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

Thistle, Utah— Having driven for nearly 20 minutes in this town, the appearance could best be described as charmingly post-apocalyptic. There are many abandoned homes and former farm facilities. A few totally flooded roadside residential properties now serve as a rest stop for ducks and habitat for fish. The rains have made the pastures rich and lush, the hills are dotted with … [Read more...]

Farming In Utah: Second Annual Utah Stories Farm Issue

June 11, 2015 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

"There is no big solution," says poet/farmer Wendell Berry, "only many small ones and we must build our economy from the ground up." The rise of the farmers market is perhaps the best thing that has happened to food in decades. Since the 1950s, industrial farming -- or its more insidious description, "factory farms," has been on the rise and family farms have been dying. As a … [Read more...]

Ancient Fremont Farming in Utah

June 12, 2012 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The Fremont Indians of Utah adopted farming technology that would be wiped out by their conquerors, the Utes. One of the most  mysterious discoveries found in ancient Utah is a technological and lifestyle regression that occurred around 1250 -1300 AD, when the Fremont Indians’ culture vanished in less than a century. The Fremonts were likely an offshoot of the Aztecs, but … [Read more...]

Local Flavors: Utah Fab Farm to Fork Regional Restaurants

July 14, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  The term “farm to table” has, in recent years, been replaced in some culinary circles by the more alliterative “farm to fork.” They both imply the same thing: cooking, and restaurant cooking in particular, that favors locally sourced, wholesome, organic and artisan (when possible) ingredients. The idea is that foods that are local are fresher and make, in theory … [Read more...]

A TASTE OF BRAZIL: The Churrasco Experience at Tucanos Brazilian Grill

June 24, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

During graduate school as I was working on a PhD dissertation in anthropology, I took time off to travel to Brazil to study the Brazilian martial art called capoeira. It was in Rio de Janeiro during my time at Mestre Camisa’s capoeira school that I got my first churrasco experience. It’s a popular dining style in the southern states of Brazil, usually called churrasco … [Read more...]

Vanishing Farmland: Paradise Lost as Vital Farmland Gives Way to Development in Ogden Valley, Utah

June 22, 2022 by Cathy McKitrick Leave a Comment

Utah’s best farmland is disappearing. Just ask Utah Farm Bureau Federation President Ron Gibson.  “We are losing the most productive farmland in the state to development,” Gibson said recently, referring to the fertile land that first attracted pioneers to settle in Salt Lake City and along the Wasatch Front. “We have one of the best economies in the country … so people … [Read more...]

10 Taco Temptations: Terrific Tacos, from Funky to Fancy

June 17, 2022 by Ted Scheffler Leave a Comment

  I will never forget the first Mexican street taco I ate. It was from a cart in Mexico City and it was a revelation, having previously thought that the crunchy tacos from Taco Bell were the real deal. Since then, I’ve probably eaten a thousand tacos from dozens and dozens of different sources. I’ve rarely met a taco I didn’t like, but some are better than others. … [Read more...]

Historic Wheeler Farm: A Park and One of the Last Functioning Farmsteads that Withstood Housing Development of Salt Lake

June 16, 2022 by Sona Schmidt-Harris Leave a Comment

Historic Wheeler Farm is known primarily as one of the happiest places in Salt Lake Valley. But happiness isn’t all it provides. It also is, in part, a functioning farm, and trains and empowers its employees with valuable experience. Two Mangalitsa piglets currently on the farm will later be sold at auction. The sheep provide wool, and the goats, milk. While there is a … [Read more...]

Localism vs. Globalism: Utah Companies Bill Gates put out of Business

May 29, 2022 by Richard Markosian Leave a Comment

The world’s global elites convened last week in Davos, Switzerland to decide how to steer the ship they control–the world economy. Should we embrace their vision of the future? Leaders like Bill Gates and those who put more miles on their private jets in one year than most people will travel in their entire lives, want to tell us how to live our lives and more importantly … [Read more...]
