It is no secret, that the non-profit approach to food security has grown by leaps and bounds.

The Giving Grove takes another route by creating orchards in neighborhoods, where the residents tend the orchards and share in the harvests.

This doesn’t mean that for profit local food producers are out. The world needs specialization of labor and being an experienced orchardist, is certainly a valuable skill. One wonders, is there a for-profit idea in the community orchard concept? How about orchardist services for people’s fruit trees in their yards?
