Many Helpful Hands Make Fast Work

The many helpful volunteers from the Sandy Utah YSA Stake and the Draper Utah Stake assisted the dedicated service missionaries this morning.

Zucchini, various types of summer squash, tomatoes, various types of peppers, salad turnips, butternut squash, pumpkins, various types of winter squash and Crenshaw melons were harvested. Several grow clothes were removed from the field since the specific crops have been completely harvested.

The Sandy Utah Crops has provided the Bishop's Storehouse with an accumulation of 34,182 lbs of healthy produce and the Utah Food Bank with an accumulation of 2,873 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.
