When Food Becomes Medicine: The Power of Healthy Eating

Can good food heal? A chef says: Yes.

Sascha Jakobi once worked in the kitchen of a four-star hotel – where taste and aesthetics harmonized at the highest level. But after being admitted to the hospital due to depression, he switched sides of the table. What he particularly noticed during his recovery was not just the sterile environment or the emotional burden – it was the food. 🍽️

A mission that also moves Our Greenery.

The question of how far nutrition can support healing also marked the beginning of our journey. Daniel, our founder, witnessed his mother in the hospital – and how little the food served there contributed to her recovery. This experience stayed with him. He asked himself: What if fresh, nutrient-rich greens were available at all times – exactly where they are needed?

This is how the Raumgarten was born: a compact indoor garden system for homes, offices – and especially for hospitals. 🌱 Microgreens and leafy vegetables – available year-round, directly from the vertical mini-farm. Because fresh, healthy food should be possible everywhere.

From idea to application.

The Raumgarten is now in use in several medical facilities – including a hospital that recently placed its largest order to date to expand the offering of fresh vegetables and microgreens for patients. 🏥🥬 A strong signal of how the vision of healthy nutrition is becoming a reality.

Healthy eating – accessible to all.

At Our Greenery, we are convinced: healthy food should not be a luxury – neither in the hospital nor at home. Everyone should have access to fresh, nutrient-rich foods – regardless of kitchen size or schedule.
You don't have to be a star chef (although we welcome that 😉). But even small decisions make a difference: a handful of microgreens for lunch, cooking fresh once a week, growing something green on the kitchen shelf. 🥗
You don't need a hospital stay to realize how important good food is. But stories like Sascha Jakobi's – and Daniel's personal journey – impressively show how much can change as a result. 💚
