The Farm at St. Joseph Mercy Health System

St. Joseph Mercy Hospital near Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti in Michigan is home to the nation's first hospital-based farm and clinical accessible hoop house.

We converted over 20 acres of lawn into arable farmland, where we grow alfalfa, fruit, vegetables, flowers and herbs. We work with two production hoop houses and have a third accessible hoop house for rehabilitation therapy.

The Farm hosts a weekly farmers market in the hospital lobby, provides a CSA for staff, provides produce for patient meals and the hospital's deli, and donates produce to our local food pantry.

INTEGRATED APPROACH
Developing a Model for a Sustainable Food System
 
Rural family farmers work hard to produce half of the world's food, yet they make up 75% of the world's poor (FAO, 2014). We focus on the farming, consumption, and commercialization of amaranth, a highly nutritious cereal crop native to Mexico, to improve family nutrition and create economic opportunities for rural families.   Our work is based in Oaxaca, Mexico.
