Are you in the market for your next great local find? Each week, our members share their favorite spots, so you can add a few new gems to your list.
📣 Paul L. wants to shout out Tagge’s Famous Fruit in Perry, a fruit stand that’s helping preserve Utah’s agricultural roots. They placed their orchards under a conservation easement to ensure they’ll never be developed. Stock up on fresh produce and jams, it’s well worth the trip up north.
📣 Sam R. loves Teru Sushi in Cottonwood Heights. It’s a cozy, family run establishment with wonderful sushi and great service.
