Ogden Downtown Alliance (ODA) is excited to announce the return of Farmers Market Ogden (FMO) this Memorial Day weekend. The market spans three city blocks every Saturday for the next 17 weeks!
FMO showcases over 200 unique vendors from northern Utah, including local farmers, growers, food producers, artisan makers, food trucks, and community organizations. FMO is a fun weekly opportunity to support local small businesses and enjoy fresh, locally sourced produce and handcrafted items. Shoppers are encouraged to explore not only the farmers market, but also the businesses and restaurants along Historic 25th Street and throughout Downtown Ogden.
Named as the No. 1 Farmers Market in Utah for the past two years by the American Farmland Trust, FMO has been recently highlighted as a leading center for community engagement during America’s Farmers Market Celebration (AMFC).
FMO promises an array of family-friendly activities for all ages on Saturday, May 25. Market-goers can look forward to live performances at 11:00 AM enjoy Aerialists from Salt Circus will also be performing at the intersection of 25th Street and Lincoln Ave and on the Bank of Utah Market Main Stage, including music from:
- 9:30 AM Giants In The Oak Tree
- 11:30 AM Del Pero
Free community yoga will be held every Saturday, from 9 AM to 10 AM in the Municipal Gardens. Participants should bring their own yoga gear, including a water bottle and sun protection.
“Opening weekend of FMO will be an incredible start to a summer season filled with amazing vendors, incredible live performances, and fun for the whole family,” says Jessica Anderson, Marketing & Communications Manager for the ODA. “We invite everyone in the community to come and enjoy the farmers market festivities. Pick up some fresh, healthy groceries, shop for unique handmade goods, and support our local small businesses on and surrounding Historic 25th Street.”
FMO promotes equitable access to locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, reducing the financial barrier of purchasing healthy food for many families and individuals in our community. FMO is proud to be an authorized retailer for:
- Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP): SNAP recipients will need to visit the Info Booth to receive the proper tokens prior to beginning their market shopping each week
- Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT)
- Double Up Food Bucks (DUFB)
- Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program (SFMNP)
- ProduceRX
