HOOORAYYYY! The Crop & Swap is set to kick off on the 12th of November, 2011 at the Community Hall in Home street, Faulconbridge (Blue Mountains N.S.W.). So get growing some extra special fruit and veg to impress you neighbours with, and to use as your swapping currency.
It's time to spread the word. If you know a neighbour that you think would like to get involved in the crop and swap, let them know about the blog and the first meeting. Everyone is welcome.
We aim to meet once a month on every second saturday of the month between 10am and 12pm, from the 12th November onward, unitl at least April.
When you arrive, make sure that you register and then get yourself an espresso coffee or tea, and feel free to mingle before the swapping begins. Steve makes a killer latte on his sexy red espresso machine.
A gold coin donation is requested, for those who can manage it, to help cover costs for hall hire and public liability insurance (the not so sexy red tape).
A complimentary cotton "Crop & Swap" bag will go to the swapper with the most exotic swapping item, as judged by the sexy red coffee machine (or the numer of audible OOH's and AHH's).
Cant wait to see you there.
Season 4 of the Crop & Swap kicks off on October 11. If you are passionate about growing, making or eating local food, come and join your local food underground this spring!
Have posted on my Facebook wall ..... hopefully a few more of my Blue Mountains mates will get interested. so wish i could be here to join in the joy! Wish you all the best with this great community building venture! xoxo Maggs
