    "We're working toward becoming your one-stop shop for locally grown, farm-fresh produce, pantry staples, and high-integrity specialty goods from producers here in Utah. In the dairy cooler, we’ve got a steady supply of:

    • Local eggs from Roots Charter High School - a beautiful array of colors from well-cared-for hens in West Valley

    • Soft cheeses from Park City Creamery. These pair perfectly with honey from Bees Brothers or Telegraph Bee Co. and a pinch of local rosemary from our man Creighton Heart.

    • Be sure to check out the open cooler in the back for locally grown produce. This week, C9 has spicy greens and sunchokes from Tyler at Keep It Real Vegetables (right here in SLC!)

    • Newsletter launching soon!
