Seed Exchange
Al Grossi AKA The Punk Rock Farmer will be stewarding the seed exchange
Only bring non-hybrid seeds grown without the use of synthetic inputs at any time during the growing process.
We continue our tradition of sharing seeds and the stories they hold. Bring your seeds their story, where it is from, where it likes to grow, and when it is best to sow. Share why you love this seed and the fruit or vegetable it produces. Learn about and try new varieties.
Vendor Lobby,
Bookstore, and The Grind CoffeehousE
8:30 AM - 5:00 PM
The vendor lobby boasts the Center's Bookstore with wisely chosen items and books featuring many top authors who have presented and taught at previous Utah Farm & Food conferences. A local coffee house, The Grind, will be in the vendor lobby to meet all your beverage needs.
We carefully select less than 20 vendors from organizations and businesses that serve and or sell products and services that support the farm and food community. The vendor lobby is conveniently located in the lobby of the Heritage Center Theater, where all keynote addresses are given and Friday lunch is served.
Reach an influential, diverse and niche group of farmers, ranchers, owners, retailers, activists, educators, homesteaders, and supporters.
