Farmers markets are more than just a place to buy produce — they’re where community meets the soil. Across Sanpete County, locals gather on Saturday mornings to browse baskets of sweet corn, homemade jams, and hand-woven crafts, chatting with the people who actually grew or made them. These weekly gatherings feed not only the body but also the region’s rural heartbeat. Recognized in this year’s Best of Sanpete County contest, these markets capture the flavor of the valley — one stand, smile, and sack of peaches at a time.
For more than 25 years, Beck Family Farms has been a staple of Centerfield’s agricultural scene.

Beyond their produce, visitors can find homemade jams, farm-fresh eggs, and plants ready for backyard gardens. The farm also runs seasonal events that celebrate rural life, turning a routine produce stop into a local tradition.
