"A poll by Envision Utah suggests Utahns want to be more self-sufficient when it comes to food and preserving farming.

Those ideas resonate with Mary Ellen Domeier. She’s got a garden of her own, but she's visiting the Murray Farmer’s Market. Her arms are weighed down with grocery bags filled with apples and pears and sweet corn, and she’s showing off the produce she’s just bought plus what’s already in her car.

“Cantaloupe from the Green River area -- I can smell it. I mean, smell that -- you’ve got to support these guys. Plus, we benefit because we get to taste all of this wonderful food.”

Around 98 percent of the 50,000 people who responded to the Your Utah, Your Future survey say they’d like more food grown in state."
