Empowering Green Bay residents to grow food and contribute to a sustainable urban agricultural system.
New Leaf Foods, Inc. has launched an New Leaf Urban Food Forest project as an offshoot of our 2023 Annual New Leaf Garden Blitz.
Food forests are plantings of edible landscape plants like Nanking Cherries, American Hazelnuts, American Plums, Elderberries, Juneberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Currents that not only enhance the beauty of any yard, but they also provide growers with yummy, healthy options that grow year after year.
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 food 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.
Our trees come in groupings of two, as do the Juneberries, and the other bushes come in groupings of 3. You can plant them together, or split them up a bit like I am and share them with your neighbors. All of our sets are only $15!
We have Nanking Cherries, American Hazelnuts, American Plums, Elderberries, Juneberries, Raspberries, Blackberries, and Currents. You can place your order here!
So 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.
Order your fruit and nut trees and berry bushes here!
