Seed Exchange
Sponsored by KRCL Punk Rock Farmer Al
Al Grossi AKA The Punk Rock Farmer will be stewarding the seed exchange
Only include non-hybrid seeds grown without the use of synthetic inputs at any time during the growing process.
Thursday, January 12, 8 - 9 pm we will continue our tradition of sharing seeds and the stories they hold. Bring your seed 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

The Vendor Lobby boasts the Centers Book store 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 17 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, where all keynote addresses are given.
Check out the growing list of exhibitors.
