Winterizing Continues

The helpful volunteers from the Sandy Utah Crescent Stake and the Murray Utah YSA Stake along with the dedicated service missionaries were busy this morning.

The carrots were covered for the season. The remaining frozen tomato crops were removed. The tomato cages were stacked and stored for the winter. The remaining weed clothes from the field and growboxes were removed. The sprinkler misters and sprinkler lines were removed for the winter.

The Sandy Utah Crops has provided the Bishop's Storehouse with an accumulation of 41,324 lbs of healthy produce and the Utah Food Bank with an accumulation of 3,148 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.
