Aldine's Urban Farm Report: Everything Old is New Again

James Loomis, Director of Agricultural Operations at Wasatch Community Gardens, stops by to share the harvest and outline a new farm incubator program for 2026. If you were a fan of Green Urban Lunch Box (GULB), well, you're in for a treat. 

  • Launching in 2026: WCG’s Farm Incubator Program. Together with GULB and the County, WCG has worked to transfer the lease and stewardship of GULB's three-acre site in South Salt Lake to WCG, ensuring that it remains dedicated to agriculture and community use. In 2026, this site will carry forward the legacy of The Green Urban Lunch Box as the home of Wasatch Community Gardens’ new Farm Incubator Program. 

  • Filling a Need: Through focus groups and research conducted in partnership with local growers and small farmers last winter, we have learned that barriers like limited access to affordable land, hands-on experience, and practical education prevent many aspiring farmers from getting started and sustaining a livelihood in agriculture. This program will address those gaps by offering farmers the chance to steward parcels of land, build skills, and contribute to a stronger local food system.

  • Exploring a New Home for GULB’s FruitShare and Back-Farms Programs. The University of Utah School of Environment, Society, and Sustainability is exploring ways to sustain GULB's beloved fruit gleaning operations and the Back-Farms gardening program.
