Mid-week farmers market starts Tuesday in Salt Lake

SALT LAKE CITY — The mid-week version of Salt Lake's Downtown Farmers Market starts Tuesday and will feature the goods of about 25 farm-based vendors.

Market manager Kim Angeli said the weekday slot creates opportunity for people who may have trouble making it downtown on Saturdays and also moves the operation toward the long-term goal of a year-round market.

"The Tuesday market is a way for the Downtown Alliance to build on the success of the Saturday morning farmers market and to create another venue for fresh and local produce in the heart of the city," Angeli said.

Hours for the Tuesday market are 4 p.m. until dusk, through Oct. 12.
