Volunteers are needed to make jelly, jam and marmalade from the pulp left after extracting seed from prickly pear, dragon fruit, and xoconostle. We also occasionally make jelly from aloe vera and pickles from sedum.
No experience is necessary, though if you are experienced with jelly, jam and marmalade, or pickling, you could help expand our range of products.
Bountiful Churchyards supplies all ingredients, pots and pans, and tools.
The kitchen can accommodate up to 10 volunteers comfortably.
Two possible shifts on Wednesdays: 9:00am to 12:00pm or 1:00pm to 4:00pm. Student groups can be accommodated with planning.

Mission Statement
Bountiful Churchyards seeks to increase access for those facing food insecurity to lands not otherwise available to them, such as churchyards, to grow or glean their own food. Our Vision is that people with limited resources available to purchase food will find welcoming spaces to grow or glean food for themselves and their families within walking distances of wherever they happen to be living.
Description
To achieve its Mission and Vision, BountifulChurchyards.org promotes, and assists cooperating churches, temples, mosques, civic organizations or other landowners to undertake on their lands:
- the planting of edibles into, and/or labeling of any edibles already present in, existing perennial borders, hedges, and hedgerows;
- the development of community gardens, kitchen gardens and orchards, where space permits, on currently underutilized portions of churchyards;
- the development of community gleaning programs in localities that do not already have any operating.
To support cooperating organizations in their activities, generate revenue to cover organizational expenses, and provide natural forums for making connections with congregations, potential volunteers or supporters, Bountiful Churchyards intends to establish:
- its own nursery;
- a farmers market program;
- a landscaping service for churches who desire to infill with edibles but don’t have the staff or volunteers to do so on their own.
