Community Orchards
A New Leaf Foods Project
The Community Orchards are an evolution of our previous School Orchards project, originally a partnership between New Leaf Foods, Leadership Green Bay Cohort Team 5, and the Green Bay Area Public Schools. Over the course of a year, with support from the city of Green Bay, the School Orchards project oversaw the installation of 5 orchards at Chappell Elementary, Red Smith K-8 School, Edison Middle School, Southwest High School, and Lombardi Middle School.
Now, the Community Orchards will be open to all institutions in the Northeast Wisconsin area, so that New Leaf Foods can continue to contribute to local, healthy, and sustainable food.
