The Stony Brook Heights Rooftop Farm, part of the Stony Brook Medicine Nutrition Division, is proud to announce the most successful Plant Sale in its 10-year history! Held in early May, this year's event raised more than $11,000 and distributed over 3,700 organically grown vegetables and herbs to employees, students and community members across East and West Campus, echoing Stony Brook's commitment to food access, sustainability and wellness. 

Proceeds directly support the ongoing operations of both the Rooftop Farm and the Stony Brook Medicine Food Farmacy, a hospital-based food pantry providing nutritious food, nutrition education and resources to patients experiencing food insecurity. Fresh produce harvested from the farm also reaches the Stony Brook University Hospital kitchen, the student-run HOME Clinic and the Stony Brook Campus Food Pantry.
