What is a Crop Swap?
A crop swap is a simple, non-monetary way to share the harvest from your garden. It’s a community-led event where you can exchange your extra produce, homemade goodies, and gardening knowledge with others. It’s a wonderful opportunity to diversify your pantry, meet fellow gardeners, and reduce food waste.
What to Bring:
- Fresh Produce: Bring your surplus fruits, vegetables, and herbs.
- Homemade Goods: Jams, preserves, eggs, honey, or baked items are all welcome.
- Garden Extras: Seeds, seedlings, and cuttings are great for sharing with others.
Why Join the Swap?
- Trade for Variety: Swap your excess zucchini for some delicious tomatoes or fresh herbs you don’t grow.
- Connect with Your Community: Meet other local growers and share tips and tricks for a thriving garden.
- Reduce Food Waste: Don’t let your bounty go to waste. Share it with neighbors who can use it.
Whether you’re a seasoned gardener or just starting out, everyone is welcome at Crop Swap Te Whanganui a Tara. We look forward to seeing you there!
