Midway farm to grow vegetables year-round with geothermal heat

A Utah farmer is planning a geothermal farm in Midway, making it possible to one day eat a fresh-picked Utah tomato in January. Dale Allred is breaking ground on a 1-acre geothermal-heated greenhouse. Allred will use the heated water bubbling from an underground spring on the property to warm the greenhouses and grow produce year-round. Salt Lake Tribune
