New Leaf Community Orchard project

• The mission of the New Leaf Community Orchard and the Bountiful Branches project is to empower Green Bay area residents to grow food and be part of a sustainable urban agricultural system.
• Installing community orchards in public spaces at parks, schools, low-income housing sites, and community open spaces.

Bountiful Branches

• Provide edible landscape plants like raspberries, blackberries, elderberries, plum trees, apple trees, black chokeberries, and hazelnuts that not only enhance the beauty of any yard but also provide growers with yummy, healthy options that grow year after year with our annual sale. 

Brown County Seed Library

The Seed Library fosters self-reliance and empowers individuals to grow nutritious food and complementary plants that support pollinators.
  

Seymour Park Food Forest Project

• This project aims to help alleviate food insecurity and food deserts within the City of Green Bay by growing healthy local food in this public park in a way that is sustainable, costs less money over time, and reduces maintenance for the Parks, Recreation & Forestry Department.  It is a pilot project in partnership with the City of Green Bay and the Seymour Park Neighborhood Association. Headed by Josh Kufahl, this project started in 2012, and is located inside the Frank B. Seymour Park
