In 10 years, ReTreeUs founder, Richard Hodges, has planted over 80 school orchards filled with apple, pear and peach trees. He also plants Back to School gardens for fall harvest with pumpkins, corn, kale, lettuce and spinach. The orchards and gardens are energized by Coast of Maine Brands organic compost blends and fertilizers.
The mission of ReTreeUS is to promote an environmentally sustainable, socially just food system through education, practical resources, and mentorship.
