What is a Crop Swap?

A crop swap is a simple and brilliant way to share the abundance from your garden. It’s a community-focused, non-monetary event where people trade homegrown produce, homemade goods, and gardening knowledge. It’s a fantastic way to meet neighbors, reduce food waste, and diversify your pantry without spending a cent.

What to Bring:

• Homegrown Produce: Whatever you have in surplus—from zucchini and kale to apples and herbs.
• Homemade Treats: Jams, chutneys, honey, eggs, or baked goods.
• Gardening Supplies: Extra seeds, seedlings, or cuttings are perfect for sharing with other gardeners.

Tips for a Great Swap:

• Label your goods: This helps others know what they’re getting and where it came from.
• Bring a variety: Even small amounts of different items are great for swapping.
• Come ready to chat: The best part of the swap is connecting with other local growers and sharing tips!

Note: The gold coin koha entry helps to cover the cost of the venue. Whether you’re a seasoned green thumb or just have a few extra lemons from your tree, everyone is welcome. We hope to see you at the next Crop Swap Ōamaru!
