PUMPKIN CHOCOLATE CHIP BREAD

Yields 2 loaves
  • 3/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 3/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs*
  • 2 cups or 15 oz of pumpkin puree*
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1½ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1½ tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp ground cloves
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 3/4 cup chocolate chips

  1. Preheat oven to 325°F. Generously grease two 8 x 4-inch loaf pans with butter and dust with flour.

  2. In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar together until just blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each. Beat until very light and fluffy, a few minutes. Beat in pumpkin. The mixture might look grainy and curdled at this point; that's okay!

  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, salt, baking soda, baking powder, cloves, cinnamon, and nutmeg.

  4. Add flour mixture to pumpkin mixture and mix until combined. Fold in chocolate chips.

  5. Pour batter into the loaf pans and bake for 65 - 75 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Start checking at 60 minutes. Let the loaves cool in the pans for about 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack to cool completely.

Provo Farmers Market

The Summer Market: Our Sunny Roots

From June through October, we transform Pioneer Park into a vibrant open-air bazaar. It’s the Saturday morning ritual you’ve been looking for.

Fresh & Local: Seasonal produce harvested at peak ripeness.

Handmade Goods: Local artisans showcasing jewelry, ceramics, and textiles.

Street Food: A rotating selection of local food trucks and bakers.

Community Vibes: Live music, yoga in the park, and plenty of space for the kids to run.

The Winter Market: Keeping the Spirit Bright

When the snow starts hitting the Wasatch Front, we don't pack up and head home—we just move the party indoors! Our Winter Market ensures that "eating local" isn't just a seasonal hobby.

Running through the colder months, the Winter Market offers:

Holiday Gifting: The ultimate destination for unique, locally-made gifts.

Prepared Foods: Jams, honeys, and preserves to keep your pantry stocked.

Cozy Community: A warm, indoor space to catch up with friends over a hot coffee.

Why We Do It

"Our mission is simple: to support local agriculture and small businesses while providing a space where Provo’s diverse community can flourish."

In a world of big-box stores and global supply chains, we believe there is something radical and beautiful about buying a loaf of bread from your neighbor. Every dollar spent at the market stays right here in our valley, fueling the dreams of local growers and makers.
