Our History
The Utah Department of Agriculture and Food established the Utah's Own program in 2002 to create a consumer culture of choosing Utah products at retail stores, restaurants, and everywhere consumers shop. Today, more than 70% of local consumers recognize the Utah’s Own logo and know that when they see it, they can trust that the products are grown or made right here in Utah.
Utah’s Own works with community and business partners to spread the message of supporting local agriculture and food businesses. Our members include farms, ranches, food & beverage artisans, restaurants, chefs, caters, body-care producers, and other agricultural producers.
Since 2002, Utah’s Own has led numerous marketing campaigns, including traditional print, digital, television, billboard, and more. Utah’s Own continues to reach 1.6 million consumers annually through utahsown.org and social media platforms, as well as at events like farmer's markets and artisan festivals.
Our Mission
To connect consumers with local farmers, ranchers, and artisans and encourage them to look for locals wherever they shop.
