Growing a food movement

Moab Grown is an initiative partnering local farmers and producers with our local community, chefs and retail outlets. Look for the Moab Grown window decal on participating restaurants' windows to know that dining at these establishments guarantees that the business is committed to sourcing local produce and products. In addition to superior taste and higher nutritional value, local food sourcing also helps diversify the income in Moab and keeps local dollars in our community.
