A local nonprofit has been honored by the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay.
UWGB has announced that Nourish Farms from Sheboygan Falls has been named the university’s Community Service Award recipient for their substantial contributions to communities throughout our area.
Nourish Farms prides itself on being a nonprofit that brings the community together through good-food education, with UWGB noting, “Their work not only nourishes bodies, but strengthens connections, builds equity, and invests in a healthier future for all. The impact of Nourish Farms reaches far beyond the farm, creating lasting change, one meal, one lesson, and one community at a time.”
On receiving this recognition, Ryan Laswell, executive director of Nourish Farms, said, “Nourish is grateful for the recognition of our hard work and contributions…Using the socioecological model and hands-on education that empowers clients, we focus on growing, cooking, sourcing, sharing, and enjoying wholesome foods to foster a healthier community.”
Nourish Farms works to educate the public about how to grow, source, cook, and enjoy good food while also growing their own crops, which get distributed to people in the community who face hunger.
