The Farm at Trinity Health Oakland is one of the nations first hospital-based farms working to improve health outcomes and increase access to healthy foods. The Farm grows a variety of flowers and vegetables on the grounds of the hospital and we depend on volunteer help to plant, weed, trellis, trim, and harvest produce that is donated to patients and healthcare providers, and sold to community members at our Farm Stand inside the hospital.
