USDA Rural Development Invests In Duchesne County Business

The U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Development Utah State Director Stan Summers made a visit to the Uintah Basin on Thursday to present Farm Creek Meats in Duchesne with a $200,000 Value-Added Producer Grant. A USDA press release shared highlights from the meeting. “Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins is highly focused on supporting American farmers and locally raised food products,” shared Summers. “Farm Creek Meats is a great example of Utah producers strengthening our agricultural economy and supporting our nation’s goals. This investment will give the company the backing it needs to expand its reach, bring more locally raised products to market, and set themselves up for long‑term opportunities.” Farm Creek Meats is family owned and operated and they are very grateful for the support. Farm Creek Meats Owner Douglas Reid said, “This funding will help us bring innovative products like our 100% bison and elk sticks to more consumers, expand markets for our products, and create additional opportunities for agriculture and rural communities.” For more information on USDA Rural Development investments in rural America, visit the Rural Data Gateway.
