The City of Millcreek and Utah's Department of Agriculture & Food have opened their largest-ever holiday market of Utah-made products at Millcreek Commons. The market features 51 vendors selling goods from the Utah's Own state program.
Why it matters
Utah's Own is a state initiative that promotes buying locally made products and connects consumers with agriculture and food businesses across Utah. Last year's market at Millcreek Commons generated $92,000 for vendors in two months.
Sixty-five cents of every dollar spent on a local product stays in the community, according to the state program. Agriculture makes up 15% of Utah's total economy, and the market runs daily from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. through Christmas Eve.
