A Spectacular Field

The field is looking spectacular. Just a huge mass of green leaves everywhere. We harvested our first spaghetti squash last week. Looking forward to seeing what the harvest haul will produce this year. Last year we weighed in at 42,000 pounds. Right now we are around 4,000 pounds.

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.
