Guilds
We Build Community Where the Conversation Can Happen.
Whether you are a seasoned farmer with years of growing under your belt or are a new and upcoming farm, homesteader, artisan producer, chef, food business, or just care about what you eat, you have something to offer and gain by belonging to a Guild. In 2019, Red Acre Center introduced Utah Farmer Guilds, recognizing the value and need for farmers to connect locally and frequently.
What is a Farmer Guild?
Guilds are agricultural communities founded by farmers for farmers, where farmers come together to share skills, resources, and knowledge, socialize, network, build lasting relationships, and stay informed about current local food and agriculture policies.
The Farmers Guilds are a casual yet powerful social network alliance, often hard to find in rural areas and the urban farming community, with the ultimate goal of attracting and helping farmers of all experience levels be more successful.
When do Farmer Guilds meet?
Guilds meet at least 4 times a year (once a season) and are involved in tours, workshops, service, and advocacy.
Who can attend a Guild meeting?
Everyone's welcome! You do not need to be a member of Red Acre Center to attend a Guild meet-up.
Where do I sign up?
Any level member of Red Acre Center is welcome to sign up and be a member of a Guild. Sign up in person by attending any Farmer Guild meet-up.
We recommend signing up at the Guild closest to your geographical area, but feel free to attend other guilds. Guild hopping is not only acceptable but encouraged.
How do I find the Guild closest to me?
Check out the map at the bottom of this page to see what guild your county is in. Then contact the Guild leader associated with that Guild.

We're Hiring a Guild Director
Interested in joining the RAC team?
The State Guild Director serves as the primary leader and support system for regional guild leaders across Utah. They are essential to ensure consistent operations, sustainable growth, and an exceptional member experience throughout all regional chapters. This director is essential to expanding Red Acre Center's network of Farmer Guilds throughout the state.
For a full description, click the button below.
Please review the map to see what Guild your county is in. Then contact your Guild Leader (listed above) associated with that Guild.
If you have any questions, please reach out to us at voice@redacrecenter.org
We are currently sponsoring Six Farmer Guilds: North West, North East, South, East Central and Salt Lake. We do our best to make Guilds accessible to all farmers, ranchers, and other producers throughout the state, but currently with only six guilds it is a difficult feat. We would love to see an expansion of Guilds dotting the state, but that is impossible without driven community members willing to help lead Guilds!
Interested in leading a RAC-sponsored Farmer Guild in your County?
We would love to have you. Please call or text 435-704-1222 or email voice@redacrecentercenter.org for details
