Food ยป Local entrepeneurs extend the growing -- and buying -- season with new seasonal markets.
On this Saturday morning, the outdoor thermometer at Salt Lake City's Oasis Cafe registers a chilly 31 degrees.
Yet on a table in the parking lot, Chad and Tya Midgley of Syracuse
are selling fresh produce to eager customers. There's a basket of
heirloom tomatoes, a pile of freshly picked cilantro, a row of red bell
peppers, some green Anaheim peppers and several bunches of broccoli.
They also offer root vegetables, such as sweet potatoes, turnips, and
onions.
Paul Midgley, Chad's father, shows up offering garlic and farm fresh eggs from his West Bountiful farm.
The Midgleys' crops are a welcome sight for customers who might
miss summer farmers' markets, and it's one of three cool-weather
markets taking place
