Farmer's Market Success Story

The Spanish Fork Farmer's Market has been a success right from the start. In June the Spanish Fork Salem Area Chamber of Commerce took over the operation of the Farmer's Market located at the City Buiding Parking Lot at 100 West and Center Street. The market has had over 40 local vendors who have come to sell their produce. Fresh Fruits and Vegetables are available through October 30 with many delicious jams, honey, bread, and even designer coffee beans.  The Chamber of Commerce would like to thank all the vendors for coming out each week and providing delicious fresh produce for our community.  We would also like to thank the public for supporting this market and these great vendors.  A special thanks goes to Spanish Fork City for their support and for providing us with this opportunity and location. Plans are being made for next year's market and the Chamber would like to hear from you! Email us at office@spanishforkchamber.com with suggestions, comments, or concerns!

Fast 50

Monday, October 4 by Heather Stewart and Candace Little

SALT LAKE CITY - Here at Utah Business we have one rule of thumb: never underestimate Utah entrepreneurs. The economy may be crumbling under our feet, but many Utah companies have not only remained steady—they have soared. The companies on our annual Fast 50 list have refused to simply wait out a bad economy; they’ve introduced new concepts and products, hired workers and expanded operations. Read on to see how some businesses have defied the odds and found the momentum to grow.
