What to buy at the St. George farmers market
The Downtown Farmers Market describes its mix as locally grown produce, pasture-raised meats and handmade goods, and its rules require vendors to make or grow what they sell. Southern Utah’s long season shapes the produce: greens, herbs and strawberries in spring; peaches, tomatoes, melons and sweet corn in summer; squash, apples and root vegetables in fall. Year-round you’ll find baked goods, local honey, jams and salsas, plants, and crafts such as pottery, soaps, candles and jewelry. Food trucks set up too, so it works as a brunch stop.
Tips for visiting
- Go early in summer. The 8 a.m. start exists because St. George mornings heat up fast; by noon it can be close to 100°F.
- Check the hours change. The Downtown market switches to 10 a.m.–2 p.m. on the first Saturday of November and back to 8 a.m.–noon in May.
- Check event Saturdays. The market skips days when the marathon, Ironman or other city events use the area.
- Bring bags, a cooler and some cash. Payment is up to each vendor.
- Using SNAP? Start at the information booth for tokens and Double Up Food Bucks.
- Parking: no lot is set aside for the market, so leave a few minutes to find a spot near the park.

Are dogs allowed at the St. George farmers market?
