July 21, 2011 Another kind of swap has popped up – and it’s one I think many communities could easily embrace: a crop swap! People gather together to share their recently harvested abundance with other nearby gardeners and urban farmers. Similar to a food swap,
“It couldn’t be simpler: you show up with your freshly harvested lettuces or lemons and share or swap them for some plums or potatoes. That’s it. No money changes hands.”
The Berkeley Crop Swap is a project of Transition Berkeley and they plan on meeting every Monday evening at a public park along the Ohlone Greenway.
Is there a crop swap in your community?
