A Cache Valley Treasure Map; Road Trip to Logan
Nestled between the Wellsville Mountains and the Bear River Range, Cache Valley is the kind of place where time slows down. Farmers markets thrive, main streets are dotted with historic buildings, and creativity is everywhere you look. At the heart of the valley is Logan, a college town with a deep sense of community and an impressive roster of local makers and bustling farmers markets.
If you're passing through or planning a weekend visit, these Cache Valley favorites are worth discovering.
Cox Honeyland
Family owned since 1929, Cox Honeyland is a working honey farm and gift shop just outside Logan. Their honeybees gather nectar from wildflowers and alfalfa fields in the surrounding foothills, producing rich, unfiltered honey that locals swear by. A stop at the farm shop offers more than just honey. Visitors can explore vintage beekeeping tools, pick up honey-sweetened treats, and see where the buzz all began.
Bussin Bread
Based in North Logan, Bussin Bread bakes organic, naturally leavened sourdough using a starter that dates back to the Alaskan Gold Rush. Their signature Organic Alaskan Gold Loaf is made from whole wheat, water, and salt—a modern take on a historic recipe. You'll often find Bussin Bread at local farmers markets, including those in Cache County and Highland. Their loaves fly off the shelves on market days!
Bluebird Candy Co.
Bluebird Candy is one of Logan’s most beloved institutions. Founded in 1914, the company still hand dips every piece in small batches. Their signature boxes, filled with caramels, clusters, and truffles, reflect more than a century of tradition. The downtown shop also carries unique seasonal specialties and has that timeless candy-store feel. It’s not unusual to find locals picking out their favorites by the piece and grabbing a scoop of ice cream on a hot summer day.
The Spirit Goat
Located just off Main Street, The Spirit Goat crafts soaps, lotions, and skincare products using goat milk from their own herd. What began as a personal wellness journey has grown into a community favorite. Their storefront is filled with scents like lavender mint and oatmeal honey. Everything is made onsite and reflects a genuine commitment to quality and sustainability.
Cache Valley is full of unexpected finds, especially for travelers who enjoy exploring places through their makers. In Logan, that might mean honey direct from the farm, a fresh loaf of bread, or a bar of soap that smells like mountain air. It’s a region that invites you to slow down, wander into a shop you didn’t plan on, and leave with something special you didn’t expect.
From the Wasatch, with Love.
