Wrapping up the Fall Harvest

The helpful volunteers from the Sandy Utah Lone Peak Stake and the Salt Lake Cottonwood Stake assisted missionaries with harvesting tomatoes, zucchini, a single watermelon, cantalupe, and various types of squash.
In addition, the bell peppers were removed.

The Sandy Vegetable Project has provided the Bishop's Storehouse with 24,671 lbs of produce to date.

About Us

The Sandy Vegetable Project was started in 1978 by members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a church welfare farm. The vegetables grown at this farm are sent to the Bishop's Storehouse in Sandy, UT, or to the Utah Food Bank. There are 20+ volunteer service-missionaries called to work at the farm each harvest season from spring until fall. The missionaries oversee the many volunteers who come from 44 stakes around the valley to help with the work. During the 2017 season, more than 42,000 pounds of vegetables were harvested at the farm for the bishop's storehouse.
