2023 Food Forest Perennial Fruit Tree and Bush Sale recap

During our 2023 New Leaf Garden Blitz, we sold 300 perennial Nanking Cherry, American Hazelnut, American Plum, Elderberry, Juneberry, Raspberry, Blackberry and Currant trees/bushes.


We met our goal of helping you become a food producer. Our community supports growing locally, building community through cooperation, direct action and sharing the love of delicious, freshly grown food.


As a result of our sale, we are able to donate additional perennials to the food forests at Seymour Park, Chappell Elementary, Aldo Leopold Community School and the Green Bay Area Unitarian Universalist Fellowship!!


We can’t wait to see the growth and the bounty for years to come!!! 

New leaf food forest orchard project at Chappell school

The Orchard at Chappell Elementary has been planted!!


The approximate 80 ft. x 100 ft. (8,000 sq. ft.) orchard offers a low-income, diverse population of students at Chappell Elementary, healthy foods while learning how to be more self-sustainable. The school is already composting and has garden boxes that will continue to be used to teach sustainable agriculture. 


Funding and hands on help is coming from Leadership Green Bay Cohort Team 5 to improve the quality of life in our community and meet the needs of New Leaf Foods as a nonprofit. 


Thank you to:

  • Kristen Vincent (City of DePere), Emily Mommaerts (Martin Systems), Renee Main (Green Bay Botanical Garden), John Jackson (Humana), Tom Murphy (Associated Bank), Jordan Ogren (O'Connor Connective), Amanda Desmond (Prevea), Shane Anderson (Law Firm of Conway, Olejniczak & Jerry, S.C.), Colleen Matthews (WPS) and mentor Shannon Geurts (Cellcom).


The orchard includes 6 trees (2 apple, 2 pear, and 2 cherry), mulch for the trees, garden supplies, additional perennial flowers to promote pollinators and a commemorative plaque. If funding allows, a bench for observation will be added in the future.


Thank you to Leadership Green Bay and Cohort Team 5  for empowering Green Bay residents and children to grow food and contribute to a sustainable urban agricultural system.

 BECOME A FOOD PRODUCER  


Communities producing locally and taking care of each other locally. All over the nation there is a rise in community oriented local food production.


So where does New Leaf’s Food Forest ideas fit into this? 


Well, we want to help you become a food producer! You can get your fruit producing trees and bushes from us. 


It’s like choosing your own food producing adventure! This is also a great excuse to talk to your neighbors and build your own neighborhood market. 


Why is this important? As we are seeing, grocery store prices are constantly on the rise. We have kids here going to bed hungry. We have elderly folks that aren’t getting healthy food. More and more people are becoming food insecure. Our best way to combat these issues is to think and produce locally and help our neighbors with community, cooperation and direct action, even if it’s little. 


It’s up to us to be the change we want to see. 


Grow some food, meet your neighbors, experiment with new recipes, and share the love of delicious, freshly grown food.
