Fifty years ago, a teenage David found a swarm of bees while checking a fence in Payson. Today, he and his wife Pam bring that half-century of passion to the Provo Farmers Market. As a "Certified Local" vendor, DP Wildflower Honey offers more than just sweet treats—they offer a look into the fascinating world of the hive and a beloved collection of tiny-hatted honey bears.

By day, Jared Hancock is a welder, but at the market, he is the face of Uinta Wagyu, bringing 100% pure Japanese beef to the local community. For the last decade, the Hancock family has raised these cattle using embryos imported directly from Japan, a passion project that was previously kept within the family until they recently cleared USDA certification hurdles. Read the full story to discover how they are challenging the lack of transparency in imported meats and proving that authentic, high-quality Wagyu doesn't have to come with a scary price tag.
