Food Swaps around Geelong.
Turn lettuce into tomatoes!
Put some home grown food on the swap table, and take whatever you think is a fair exchange.
Local organisation Foodskil started the Corio Bay Food Swaps and there are now 9 across the region organised by various groups.
An honour system, no need to haggle, and it's free, except Drysdale which has membership at $10.00 a year.
Bring: home grown fruit, vegetables, herbs, seeds, plants, eggs, homemade jam, etc.
Nothing to swap? Excess produce is usually offered for sale after 10.00 am.
Meet like-minded people in your community.
Reduce your food bills and food miles.
