About Redmond Heritage Farm Kitchen
Redmond Heritage Farm Kitchen is a farm-owned restaurant and store in Salt Lake City's Sugarhouse neighborhood, operated by Redmond Farms, the Utah company behind the Redmond Real Salt brand. The kitchen cooks in beef tallow, lard, butter, and ghee from their own farm. Their fries are made in beef tallow. No seed oils are used anywhere in the kitchen.
The restaurant also works as a farm store. Customers can buy raw milk, grass-finished beef, heritage pork, and pastured eggs directly. The connection to the farm is real, not just branding. Redmond Farms raises the animals and operates the kitchen, so the fat rendering and sourcing happens in-house. Their menu covers burgers, sandwiches, grain bowls, salads, and house-made sides, all built around whole-food and farm-direct ingredients.

What people are sayingvia Google
The garlic and rosemary fries here are amazing — they fry everything in beef tallow which takes them to another level. Their fry sauce is also some of the best I've had.
The hamburgers were very fresh and delicious. Their fresh market is also fantastic, especially the raw milk. This place is a must-visit if you care about real food.
We ate here three times during our stay and loved it every time. The greens were fresh and the meat was incredible. Farm-to-table at its actual best.
