Mother Nature is abundant and when we share her gifts we all thrive. Crop Swap Aotearoa brings together backyard gardeners, home bakers and food foragers for swapping and sharing high quality local food on a regular basis.
We come together once a month with a mindset of abundance, give with generosity and take mindfully. We understand that we as individuals are only then truly well when everyone's needs are met. We are building a multi-generational network of gardeners to support local food production, preserving gardening knowledge and enjoy each other's company.
Once a month we get together at the Waimarama Community Gardens in The Brook with our excess produce. We bring it to the table and chat about what we've brought. Then we help ourselves to whatever we wish to take home. No money changes hands.
It is always exciting to see what people bring along!
