The UW Extension for Door, Kewaunee, and Manitowoc Counties and a local food pantry will be providing more fresh food from local providers.
Peter’s Pantry General Manager Tracy Bruce-Minehan and Extension Educator Laura Apfelbeck submitted a grant to Corteva AgriScience, which was recently approved for funding.
150 heads of broccoli were purchased from Wilfert Farms through the grant.
Peter’s Pantry feeds around 965 people each week, and the program supplied 100 pantry families with broccoli within the first week.
Corteva Agriscience provides farmers with seeds and crop protection products.
