Crafted in Utah: Stories of quality, expertise, and dedication.
Last summer, we began delivering farm boxes to areas around Salt Lake City. Along with bringing fresh, organic produce and natural groceries to our newest members, we've also partnered with some amazing local producers and artisans. We're thrilled to introduce you to a few of them in our new blog series, "Crafted in Utah: Stories of quality, expertise, and dedication."
Petersen Family Farm
In a quiet corner of Utah, alongside the Jordan River, the Petersen Family Farm thrives as a living testament to generations of hard work and dedication. For over five decades, the Petersen's have worked this land, cultivating not just crops but a deep connection to nature, community, and family. What started as a modest farm in the 1940s, founded by Luke Peterson's Danish ancestors, has transformed into a beacon of sustainability and tradition, and they continue to pass down agricultural wisdom from one generation to the next.
Luke Peterson, now the farm’s steward, grew up immersed in the rhythms of farming. His childhood was marked by the scent of freshly tilled soil and the sound of water flowing through canals—an essential lifeline to this land. As the years have passed, Luke’s commitment to maintaining the integrity of his family’s legacy remains unwavering, even as the sprawling urban development encroaches on the once purely rural areas. Despite the changing landscape, Petersen Family Farm stands firm in its mission to offer high-quality, non-GMO products that reflect the farm’s values of sustainability, respect for the land, and dedication to craftsmanship.
One of the farm’s signature crops is its beloved non-GMO popcorn, grown with care using techniques passed down through generations. The kernels are naturally dried in the fields before being hand-harvested, a tradition that ensures the best quality. The result is a popcorn with a subtly sweet, buttery flavor and a texture that’s light and fluffy—perfect for those seeking a midday nibble.
Ideal for any occasion, Peterson's Microwave Popcorn on the Cob or Calico Bottle Popcorn makes a great addition to any social setting. Its versatility and comforting texture make it the kind of snack that quietly anchors everyday moments. People reach for it—easy to share, easy to enjoy, easy to savor together.
With urbanization continually on the rise, the farm serves as a sanctuary, drawing people together in a shared appreciation for the cycles of nature and the bond that forms over the harvest. Through their work, Petersen Family Farm aims to bring the essence of the outdoors into everyday life, emphasizing a deep connection to the land and its natural language.
