Do you have lemons rotting on the ground in your back yard?
Do you have more zucchinis than you can give away?
Are your chooks laying more eggs than you can eat?
Do you need help harvesting your otherwise wasted fruit?
Would you like an opportunity to discuss your successes (and failures!) with other gardeners in the
community?
Then come along to our fruit, veg and home-grown produce swap!
On Saturday 5th of November at Ecofest – This will be a joint food swap with the Manifold Heights Community Garden Food Swap. (- Thanks for that!) and will take place from 9am – 12noon.
Why?
The aim is to encourage sustainable gardening in the community and provide access to fresh local seasonal
produce.
How?
The swap operates on an honesty system: bring what you want, take what you feel is a fair exchange.
What?
You can bring home-grown fruit and veg, home-made preserves and cordials, home-baked cakes or bread,
eggs from your chooks, surplus seeds and seedlings, dried or potted herbs.
Any unused food is passed on to local charities for distribution.
There are a number of food swaps operating locally – ask at this one to find out more and checkout Food Skil
The Food Swap at Ecofest will be organised by Katie – who a number of you will know from other food swaps, community gardening and vegie garden workshops.
thanks Katie.
Look forward to seeing everyone with their fresh produce on the day.
