- "There’s No Plate Like Home: Chefs and Farmers Tout Local Products."
By Valerie Phillips, Deseret Morning News, August 30, 2006.
"When David and Jill Bell go out to dinner, they’re often well-acquainted with the food on the restaurant menu. The heirloom tomato salad, the baby squash, the candy-striped beets were likely grown on their organic farm... In the past seven years, their backyard garden has expanded to six acres, and they supply 11 restaurants with tomatoes, basil, lettuce greens, squash and other veggies. The Bells are part of a growing number of local farmers who are persuading Utah’s finest restaurants to use home-grown vegetables, fruit, meat and cheeses. Jill Bell shared the couple’s marketing savvy with several dozen local chefs, farmers and food artisans at a recent cookout hosted by Slow Food Utah. It was a casual, get-acquainted event, with Slow Food playing matchmaker between chefs and food producers. ‘We’re trying to get more restaurants to serve local products,’ said Christi Paulson, the group’s president, who hosted the cookout at her home. ‘We have a great food community and a lot of heritage here and I think people overlook it.’" [Please see the article for the rest of the story.]

- "Know Where Your Food Comes From"
By Valerie Phillips, Deseret Morning News, July 26, 2006.
"...But those looking at the bigger picture say farmers markets help both the economy and the environment. Buying local products keeps neighboring farmers and food purveyors in business and keeps money circulating in your own community. Also, local food doesn’t need to be shipped hundreds (or even thousands) of miles to get to you, which saves on energy, fuel emissions, traffic congestion and so on..."
