Boston Medical Center Opens Second Rooftop Farm to Address Food Insecurity
“Our rooftop farms increase green space in our community, reduce the hospital’s carbon footprint, and strengthen at-risk local food systems.”

Excerpt:
oston Medical Center, one of the greenest hospitals in the nation, has opened a second rooftop farm, Newmarket Farm, at 960 Massachusetts Ave., expanding access to fresh foods in the community and adding green space to the hospital campus. Through a partnership with Boston Area Gleaners, crops cultivated in the 4,915-square-foot grow space will be distributed to local non-profits and community centers twice per week during the growing season, addressing food insecurity and increasing access to essential fresh foods across Boston.
Building on the success of Boston Medical Center’s first farm at 750 Albany St., which opened in 2017, Newmarket Farm triples the total grow space at BMC and quadruples the amount of produce BMC expects to grow annually. The expanded capacity from a second farm also allows BMC to share produce with community partners for the first time, while continuing to support the academic medical center’s food pantry and inpatient meal service. The new farm will specialize in growing vegetables, including collard greens, kale and arugula, as well as culturally relevant crops including Aji Dulce peppers, bok choy, and callaloo.
