While a healthy diet has always been considered necessary for overall wellness, historically, many hospitals have overlooked (忽视) its powerful potential for recovery. In some areas, that’s beginning to change. In Pennsylvania four years ago, St. Luke’s Hospital partnered with Rodale Institute to start an organic produce (有机农产品) farm at the hospital’s campus in Easton. Since its first season, the St.Luke’s farm has expanded to grow 100 fruits and vegetables on 11-12 acres.

Today, St. Luke’s sends all new mothers home with a basket of organic produce. New moms aren’t the only ones benefiting from the farm’s harvest, which is also served to patients, cooked up in the cafeterias of the hospital and sold at nearby farmers’ markets.

Hospital farms are part of a broader movement to make organic, locally produced food accessible to the general population. Some hospitals are making it a priority to buy food from nearby farms, while others are turning unused land on their grounds into community gardens. By making organic produce easily accessible to the patients and visitors alike, these hospitals hope to inspire lifelong changes for better health. Even though most hospital farms aren’t growing enough to completely supply their own hospitals, providing even a small amount of fresh produce makes people aware how healthy a plant-rich diet can be.

While the farm-to-hospital movement continues to gain traction, it’s meeting with some challenges along the way. For one, health workers don’t necessarily know how to grow food. This means that most hospitals need to hire a full-time farmer and other farm labor to manage the field, which can be expensive. It takes between 3 and 5 years for most hospital farms to break even (回本), let alone make profits for now. But participating hospitals still believe that the benefits are worthwhile. As the movement continues to expand, local people might soon experience a farm-fresh meal at a hospital near them.
