We had such a lovely Grand Opening and native tree planting yesterday - Chi miigwech to everyone who came and made it so special. Thank you to Arbor Day Foundation and to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation, Mayra, Hunter, and James!

It’s incredibly heartwarming to experience this type of community support and to know that those who participated will be able to come back and visit the tree they planted with their family and friends!

We also have a lot more fruit trees that need homes! Please reach out to me and/or stop by Food Sovereignty this week to get a tree. You do have to “register” for the tree as we are keeping records, so please see one of our staff members when you come.

Hey Everyone,

Just a reminder, we have our Grand Opening and Tree Planting coming up this Saturday at 10am at Food Sovereignty! We’ll be planting 50 native trees behind our two high tunnels and would love your help! Bring your favorite shovel, gloves, and water bottle.

Huge thanks to the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and Arbor Day Foundation for this opportunity. We have 100 fruit trees for give-a-way! One fruit tree per household. Must be a Bad River tribal member. The trees are different varieties of apples, pears, and cherries! There will also be another opportunity to get a fruit tree in the Spring if you miss this round.

We hope to see you on Saturday! There will be door prizes, snacks, and a market of fresh produce in addition to the trees!

Our Fruit Tree Planting and Giveaway that’s happening on October 3rd is part of a larger organized effort to plant multiple orchards in Red Cliff, Bad River, and the Manitou Makoons farm on the island. We’re so grateful to work with the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and Arbor Day Foundation for this incredible opportunity! We look forward to planting trees together 🤗

Boozhoo!

In an inter communal Anishinaabe effort we are teaming up with the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation & Arbor Foundation to grow three community orchards that will provide beauty and fresh fruit for generations! One in Bad River at Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa , one in Red Cliff at Mino Bimaadiziiwin Gitigaanin, and one on Mooningwanekaaning (Madeline Island’s Manitou Makoons Gitigan) and we need your energy to make it happen.

Join us at Mino Bimaadiziiwin Gitigaanin on October 1st, Bad River Band of Lake Superior Chippewa on October 3rd or at Manitou Makoons on October 4th, all at 10am for a high-energy day of digging, planting, and learning. FTPF’s expert arborists will even be on-site leading workshops so you can master everything from the perfect planting technique to long-term tree aftercare.

Grab your gloves, water, hat (and your favorite shovel if you have one) and let’s get our hands dirty to create a thriving, edible landscape for everyone to enjoy!

We hope to see you there!

 If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to Kyra or Tayamni at:

Please save the date for Food Sovereignty’s Grand Opening and Tree Planting! October 3rd, 10am 🎉

We are partnering with the Fruit Tree Planting Foundation and Arbor Day Foundation to plant native fruit and nut trees in an edible food forest landscape behind our high tunnels. A limited number of fruit tree cultivars like apples, pears, and cherries will be available to Bad River tribal members who participate in helping us plant trees! Everyone is welcome!

This will be an opportunity to see our new building, get some door prizes, and fresh produce from the farm.

We look forward to seeing you! 🤗
