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.

We grow a variety of plants in our garden including asparagus, lettuce, cabbage, basil, rosemary, corn, mint, squash, beans, lemons, oranges, persimmons, apples, blackberries and much much more. Students learn to propagate plants in our greenhouse. They learn to compost and ensure plants are receiving the nutrients they need.

The goal of this garden is to revive an internal outdoor courtyard and create a schoolyard garden for the first time at this elementary school. The garden would grow a range of fruits, vegetables, herbs, and non-edible plants, and will become an outdoor classroom serving a K-5 audience.

Viewpoint School Garden

The Viewpoint School garden provides the opportunity for students, K through 12, to grow, cook and eat their own food.  Our lower and primary school students visit and work in the garden in their science classes.  Our middle and upper school students participate in the garden as clubs in their respective divisions.  We are continually expanding our program and hoping to add an elective focused on gardening in the near future.  We hope that students become more connected to their food, the seasons, and the outdoors.
