MormonTimes.com: Alpine youths enjoying a meaningful harvest
ALPINE, Utah -- First they planted. Then tended. Then harvested.
Now, they're selling.
Members of the Alpine 10th Ward teachers quorum and some of their friends are winding up their summer project, "You Reap What You Sow."
Glade Tuckett, their adviser, had a 2 1/2-acre plot of land available, so he thought it would be a good project for the young men to find out first-hand how to work for a good purpose.
By all accounts, the effort has been successful, with a good harvest that included corn, tomatoes, squash, watermelons, peppers, cucumbers, cantaloupes and pumpkins.
As some quorum members loaded corn into a wagon last week, others searched for the remaining watermelons in the field.
