The community orchard is located at Green Bay East High School.

Previously named the School Orchards Project, the Community Orchards Project oversaw the development of five orchards at Chappell Elementary, Red Smith K-8 School, Edison Middle School, Southwest High School, and Lombardi Middle School over a year with funding from the city of Green Bay.
Apple trees, pear trees, cherry trees, plum trees, and helpful pollinator plants are among the food-bearing plants found in the orchards. For New Leaf Foods to keep constructing a local, wholesome, and sustainable food future, the Community Orchards initiative is open to growing and planting in any public area in northeast Wisconsin.
