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 bounties of the land, with none of the sweat of tilling it. Besides produce, most farmers markets offer local honey, baked goods, prepared food, beverages, craft items, and entertainment.

Visiting a farmers market makes for a foodie adventure during the summer and fall when harvests really start to come in. Seasonal yields can have short windows, so you should get the goods while you can. An old saying says that nothing is so rare as true love and homegrown tomatoes—but at least you can always find the latter at farmers markets during high season in summer and fall.
