Part of the healing environment of the Eskenazi Health downtown campus, The Sky Farm has 5,000 square feet of growing space dedicated to 25 – 30 different produce crops and flowers. The initial planting began in the spring of 2014, just after the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital opened. Each year the harvest has grown. In 2018 more than 3,000 pounds of produce was harvested. Projections for 2019 indicate there will be 3,700 pounds of produce.
The Sky Farm is typically open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. However, occasionally it is closed for private events. During an event, signs with the time of reopening are posted just outside the doors. To access The Sky Farm, please take the Green Elevators in the Sidney & Lois Eskenazi Hospital to the seventh floor.
