Utah Farmers Market Network
resource active confidence: Medium status: Draft updated 2026-08-11
Summary
The Utah Farmers Market Network helps market operators share guidance, training, advocacy, and access to SNAP and Double Up Food Bucks. A common support layer makes small local markets easier to run and more accessible to low-income shoppers, but its counterfactual is bounded to Utah's market network.
Who It's For
Farmers market managers and vendors; food and artisan producers selling at Utah markets; businesses and organizations sponsoring local food access; consumers finding nearby markets via the directory.
What It Provides
Find-a-market directory and map, Farmers Market Manager Handbook, SNAP/DUFB and food-access technical assistance, annual Market Manager Forum, member networking calls, marketing toolkits, grant-identification support, liability-insurance guidance, and Farmers Market Coalition complimentary membership for market members.
How To Use It
Start with the official website, then confirm current programs before recommending.

Cost / Eligibility
Public site resources are free. Published membership pricing (verified on membership page): market memberships $50–$150/year by vendor count (+$50/extra location); vendor $25/year; individual tiers $25–$100/year; business/org tiers $100–$5,000/year.
Best Fits
A Utah vendor or market manager building or running a farmers market booth — especially when SNAP/DUFB, insurance, or manager training is the bottleneck. Not for generic tech startups unless they sell at markets.
