What is a Crop Swap?
A crop swap is a fun and simple way to share the abundance of your garden with your community. It’s a non-monetary event where you can exchange homegrown produce, homemade goods, and gardening knowledge with others. It’s a great opportunity to reduce food waste, meet new people, and bring home something new for your kitchen.
What to Bring:
- Fresh Produce: Whatever you have in surplus from your garden—vegetables, fruits, and herbs.
- Homemade Items: Jams, preserves, baked goods, eggs, honey, or other creations.
- Gardening Extras: Seeds, seedlings, and cuttings are perfect for sharing with fellow gardeners.
Tips for a Great Swap:
- Label Your Items: Clearly label your items so others know what they are.
- Bring a Basket: A basket or bag is handy for carrying your items and your new treasures.
- Come Ready to Connect: The best part of the swap is meeting and sharing with others who love to grow.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just have a few extra lemons, everyone is welcome. We look forward to seeing you at the Ōtaki Memorial Hall!
