In the early 1900s, the State Hospital was a self-sufficient facility. They had an award-winning dairy in which the patients worked. The hospital had an active farm where the patients helped raise their own vegetables. The farm was made into multiple soccer fields where many youth travel teams participate in competitive games. There were also hayfields for the animals, and patients grew their own plants and flowers in a greenhouse. The patients also helped raise their own livestock which supplied the facility with the meat needed. They also helped bake their own goods in a bakery.
