What Businesses are Saying

I have learned a lot from the Utah's Own organization, and have found that they genuinely care about the people of Utah. It's hard to find people who care as much or more about your business, then you do. I think the biggest thing Utah's Own has done is it tells potential customers that we are someone just like them. Because of this, I have recommended Utah's Own to many other people along the way.

Using the Utah's Own trademark solidifies to our customers that we are a real local company grown here in Cache Valley Utah! People want fresh, quality, local, produce that they can trust.

When customers see the Utah's Own brand on our label, they immediately know that their food is grown right in their backyard by their neighbors and friends. It allows customers to also find value in supporting local farmers and ranchers. It doesn't take long for a customer to realize the value in knowing their food source! We are thrilled to continue to use the Utah's Own initiative as we have for many years!
