Food Swaps – Northcote

The next Northcote food swap will be on Saturday February 10, from 11 to 12 pm.  It can be found at 251 High St Northcote in the side garden of the church.

Food Swaps are an occasion to meet your community, talk about gardens and sustainability and swap excess produce from your garden, or something you made in your kitchen. You bring some and get to take some away as with all good swaps.

Ideas of what to bring:

• seeds from your garden
• seedlings
• fruit
• vegetables
• herbs
• preserves
• cordials
• sour dough starter

The list goes on…
