What is a Crop Swap?
A crop swap is a community-driven event where people come together to exchange homegrown produce, homemade goods, and other garden-related items. It’s a fantastic way to share your garden’s bounty, discover new foods, and connect with like-minded individuals in your local community.
What to Bring:
- Homegrown Produce: Fruits, vegetables, herbs, and seedlings.
- Homemade Goods: Jams, preserves, baked goods, honey, and pickles.
- Garden-Related Items: Seeds, cuttings, worm farms, or composting advice.
Tips for a Successful Swap:
- Label your items: Clearly label what you have, especially if it’s an unusual variety or has specific growing instructions.
- Bring small quantities: It’s often easier to swap smaller amounts of a variety of items.
- Be open to trades: The goal is to share and exchange, not to make a profit. Be flexible and enjoy the process of swapping.
Crop Swap South Canterbury is a friendly and welcoming community. We look forward to seeing you and your garden goodies!
