The Saginaw Chippewa Indian Tribe’s commitment to food sovereignty and healthy lifestyles is expanding with the planting of four fruit tree or-chards totaling 140 trees on the Isabella and Saganing reservations.
Each orchard will consist of 35 trees: ten apple, five apricot, five pear, five plum, five peach and five cherry trees. The orchards will provide a source of fresh fruit to the Tribal community, and be incorporated into Andahwod’s upcoming Seed-to-Table programming, Saginaw Chippewa Academy and Sasiwaans lunch programs, Behavioral Health Residential Treatment Center and community feasts at Seventh Generation. Fruit will be available to the Tribal community and at the Farmers Market.
- All community members are encourage to assist with the planting
- Food will be served
