Harvesting and Weeding Continues

The helpful volunteers from the Draper Utah YSA, the Draper Utah Stake and the dedicated service missionaries were busy this morning.

Zucchini, summer squash, cucumbers, tomatoes were harvested. Weeding occurred in the field. Squash insects were removed from the zucchini and summer squash growboxes. The old greenhouse is being prepared for demolition.

The Sandy Utah Crops has provided the Bishop's Storehouse with an accumulation of 6,479 lbs of healthy 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.
