Rasmussen Farms

Hello friends—just a little update. Some of you know this is a transition year for us. Jeff planted “a little garden!” (Apparently 4 acres is a little garden!). This transition year has seen our friends, the Schmidt’s, operating the canopy spot in the parking lot behind McDonald’s at 300 E 12300 S in Draper. The Schmidt’s home base is Wedt Jordan, but they are also farming a few of the remaining acres in Draper available for agricultural use. It is our understanding they have lots of yummy corn. Tomatoes are another story this year. The extreme temperatures we have had and continue to have are not kind to local tomatoes which are slow to ripen and in very short supply. We may be able to supply some tomatoes to the Draper location, but once they arrive there the price and availability will not be determined by us. And some people have asked me if I couldn’t get Rasmussen Farms produce, where would I go? I would check out Schmidt’s produce, and if I lived on the west side of the Salt Lake Valley, I would check out Rushton Farms. Or check out the local farmers markets! Best wishes!

Dear Rasmussen Farms Customers—the 2022 harvest season is about to begin! 2022 has created unfriendly growing circumstances—particularly the extremely hot temperatures and lack of moisture. So the corn has been slow to mature. However, beginning Monday, August 1st, watch for produce at our location at 300 East 12300 S in the parking lot behind McDonald’s (M-S from 10-6 or until sold out. Closed Sundays). This year we are partnering with Schmidt’s Produce. The Schmidt’s are good friends who have a nursery business in West Jordan as well as a produce business. They have been growing our tomato plants for Rasmussens for many years in their nursery until they were ready to be brought to Draper to be planted in Rasmussen fields. Some of the vegetables they will be selling there will be grown by Jeff Rasmussen and some by the Schmidt’s. We look forward to seeing you in Draper!😊🌽🍅

Dear customers & friends- We are so thankful for your support these past 45 years! Due to weather conditions beyond our control, our pumpkin harvest will be limited this year. We will not be selling them at the pumpkin house. We are giving them away for free at the field on Saturday, October 2 from 12-5. The address is 13300 S Fort Street in Draper (Look for the sign that says "Ballard Lane"). First come, first serve. Thank you for your support & understanding!

Good morning, we just wanted to let you know this will be our last weekend at our canopy. Today we will be open at 1:30 until sold out and tomorrow from 10:30 until sold out. Beginning October we hope to be selling our pumpkins. We will keep hou updated here. Thank you for your support! 🤍

FYI-Beginning Wednesday, September 15th, 2021, we will be open at our canopy from 1:30 until sold out Monday-Friday. Saturday we will be open 10:30-until sold out. The season is winding down. 😢😊 We have one more planting of corn possibly ready by Saturday. We are still picking some delicious tomatoes. We are probably not going to be able to fill large orders. If you have questions, you can text Mary at 801-201-1223. Thanks for your patience and understanding. 🥰🌽🍅🎃

Good afternoon! The 2021 season harvest will begin this Friday at 10:30 a.m. until sold out at our canopy in the McDonald's parking lot! We will have corn and a few early tomatoes. The rest will follow in the upcoming weeks. Thank you so much, we hope to see you there!

The 45th year of Rasmussen Farms is in full swing! We anticipate to harvest corn around the end of July, perhaps a little sooner. Thank you so much for your support!

Pumpkin time is here! 🎃 This year we are still selling them at 12244 S 900 E in Draper! If we have any other veggies they will be there with the pumpkins. Thank you so much for your support! Happy fall! 🍁
