Celebrity Sighting!

We had a celebrity sighting at the farm on Thursday! KUTV's Dan Rascon came to give service with his stake. He is an emmy award winning and veteran journalist. You can spot him delivering the news at noon, 4pm, 5pm, and 6pm. After weeding for awhile, Dan walked into the greenhouse to check out the scene. Sister Lawrence says..."Hey, aren't you on TV?" She then says, "You're on the news!" So of course we had to get a picture. Thanks for serving, Dan! If you want to bring your news crew down to the farm for a story we would love to have you back!

Sunny Saturday Service

It was a beautiful morning to be out at the farm. Volunteers from the Draper Mountain Point, Murray YSA, and Salt Lake Cottonwood stakes kept busy with a variety of projects. They helped wash and sanitize the seed trays, planted seeds, dug a better drain with a grate on the top, pitted pokes for the squash to grow up, and flattened out the rows next to the trenches for the field crops. We appreciate everyone's wonderful service today!

A Perfect Spring Night at the Garden

The faithful volunteers from the Sandy Utah Granite View Stake, South Jordan Utah River Stake and the Sandy Utah Alta View Stake along  with the dedicated  service  missionaries  were  active  this  evening.

Hot peppers, green peppers, tomatoes and lettuce was planted in  the  growboxes.  The carrots were weeded.  The furrows were hand shoveled to the irrigation pipe.  The drip line hooks were placed on the south fence.

Many Helpful Hands Make Light Work

The many  faithful volunteers from the Draper Utah Eastridge Stake, Sandy  Utah Midvalley Stake and the Sandy Utah Granite South Stake along with the dedicated service missionaries were busy this evening.

The tomato tranplants were planted into the growboxes.  Between the  growboxes were weeded.   Additional weed block, drip lines, and misters were installed in growboxes.  The greenhouse had the panels reinstalled and the roof  reinforced. The youth cleaned and stacked the vegetable bins for future use.

Many Helpful Volunteers

The dedicated volunteers from the Salt Lake Wasatch Stake, the  Draper Utah YSA and the Sandy Utah YSA Stake along with the faithful service missionaries  were active this Saturday morning.

Peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers transplanted into  the  growboxes. The fan was installed in the new greenhouse.  Drip lines, misters, wickets and covers were installed over the tender carrot plants.

A Chilly Breezy Evening

The helpful volunteers from the Sandy Utah Central Stake Park ward and the Sandy Utah Crescent North Stake along with the faithful service missionaries were busy this evening.

Different varieties of squash and melon were planted in the  greenhouse.  Carrots were planted. Romance lettuce was planted in a grow box. Hooks were assembled to hang up the drip lines on the fence.  The wash stations and tables were raised, so the volunteers won't need to hunch over while cleaning and sorting the produce during the summer.

The Calm before the Storm

The helpful volunteers from the Salt Lake Cottonwood Heights Stake along with the faithful service missionaries were busy this evening.

The growboxes with young transplants are being covered up because there is snow in tomorrow's weather forecast.  There are about ten growboxes being covered.  The carrot boxes were  weeded.

The missionaries are planting seeds in the greenhouse, doing  electrical work, assembling hooks on boxes, and working on the main irrigation pipe.
