Specialty Crop

On behalf of University of Wyoming Extension in partnership with the Wyoming Department of Agriculture, I am excited to present the inaugural Wyoming Specialty Crop Directory Online Database: A guide to local foods, farmers’ markets, and community gardens. This database will allow us to continually update listings and also add new ones. It is a companion piece to the 2024 Wyoming Specialty Crop Directory, which is available for free download at https://bit.ly/wyo-specialty-crop-directory.

With funds from WDA’s Specialty Crop Block Grant Program through the USDA, we created volume 2 of the directory along with this database. These resources aim to connect Wyoming residents and visitors with a variety of edible specialty crops. This includes fresh vegetables and fruits, culinary herbs and spices, and honey. Additionally, we feature a wide variety of homemade goods containing specialty crops.

The directory and database bring new life to the saying “Shop Local,” as both list hundreds of Wyoming producers—big and small—who sell their products at local businesses, outdoor and indoor farmers’ markets, co-ops, roadside stands, and other venues.

If you haven’t already, please grab hold of the growing local food movement across Wyoming! For more information about the directory—and if you want to read a famous quote from the late American chef, author, and television personality, Julia Child—please click on the ‘Read More’ button below.
