9th West Farmers Market
The 9th West Farmers Market is located near the International Peace Gardens in Salt Lake City. The market takes place on Sundays, with opening day for 2020 being June 28th. While working to protect vendors and shoppers, the market is offering curbside pickup via online ordering. They are also allowing some onsite shopping by placing an order that a market employee will then gather for you.
Items to purchase include local food items such as produce, honey, eggs, hamburger and sausage, chips and salsa, Millcreek Olive Oil Company products, and more. Check out their blog for more details on how to support and participate in the market.
