New Orleanians have a long history of growing fruit in the city. With our sub-tropical climate so much can grow – satsumas, lemons, limes, grapefruit, avocado, figs, and more.
NOFFN wants to revive this wonderful tradition.
Every year, we plan to distribute trees so that people add to our NOLA Edible Forest.
In 2011, the Apache Tree Foundation, donated 1,000 fruit trees that were distributed to folks throughout the Greater New Orleans region. Some trees are now planted in back and front yards. Many inspired the creation of community orchards on vacant lots.
We have created a sign up form for those interested in being involved in growing our NOLA Edible Forest.
