We will meet again the 21st of January, same time same place. Our meeting times will now always be the 1st Sunday and 3rd Sunday of the month to make it easy to remember.
Last meeting, on the 7th, we had a lovely turnout of 3 repeat crop-swappers and a few new faces. There was so much on offer that we had two tables for the first time! Please tell your friends about the swap, it is such a good event for the community. I came home with heaps of lettuce, 2 courgettes (yellow and green), a cucumber, pickled beetroot, parsley, spring onions, and seedlings. We ate a salad the next day with all crop swap goodies, so wonderful!
Bring something from your garden and/or kitchen and take home things from other people kitchens and gardens! Crop Swap is a cash free, community sharing event.
I've repeated the below from my last update-- good information to let anyone new know what to expect.
How it all works:
2-2:30pm time to set up and check out everyone's offerings and catch up.
2:30 pm we welcome you all and then we pick out new goodies to take home!
Usually all is done by 3pm.
Ideas for what to bring:
FROM THE GARDEN:
FROM THE KITCHEN:
Get picking and come to share, love to see you there.
