Three stories above Boston Medical Center’s power plant thrives a 2,658-square-foot farm that grows more than 30 crops. The farm not only provides fresh, local produce to our hospitalized patients, cafeterias, Teaching Kitchen, and Preventive Food Pantry, it is also part of BMC’s commitment to going green. The farm reduces the hospital’s carbon footprint, increases green space, and reduces energy use, including the energy required to transport food.
