Yes. The Mormons had to be able to produce nearly all that they needed to live in order to survive in Utah. The nearest trading post was hundreds of miles away, shipping was extremely expensive since there was no railroad, and there was very little traffic going through the area. The only other people living there were Native Americans, who lived entirely off the land.
