#NewZealand / #Aotearoa #CropSwap

Toha atu toha mai / I share with you, you share with me

"Crop Swap gatherings are for everyone who is happy to share. Just bring your garden's and kitchen's surplus, turn up in time (or even a little earlier to help with the set up), display your treasures nicely, walk around and admire your fellow crop swappers goodies, mix and mingle, share your best jam recipe and enjoy the presence of people who find joy in the moneyless exchange of #MotherNature's abundance. Once everyone is officially welcomed and the sharing is opened you are invited to mindfully take what you are interested in. Everything is there to go to a new home. Take your time and keep other's in mind, the slow ones, the children, the elders, so that everyone has the chance to fill their baskets with beautiful food. After this please help with the clean up, get home safely and tell everyone, how awesome it was. Next time, bring a friend!

Find a crop swap

Starting a Crop Swap hub in your area is super easy. All you need is a venue and the people. Depending on your climate, the season and the people you want to share with a Crop Swap gathering can be anywhere, in a hall, a sports club, a school, a cafe, a garage, in a park, under a pavilion or even in your living room. To make it accessible for everyone it is good to have parking close by. To make it attractive for families consider a space where children can run around safely. Having tables and a few chairs available is helpful to accommodate the needs of people with different abilities. Once you found a venue (and don't get caught up in that too much as you can always change it) invite your future fellow crop swappers. Again, possibilities are endless. There are community newspapers, school newsletters, letter box leaflets, information boards in garden centres, shops, libraries and environment centres, emails, Facebook and, of course, good old word of mouth invitations. Set a date and time for your first gathering and enjoy the flow."

#FoodSharers

"Food Sharers are focused on saving good food from going in the bin, and sharing food with people that want it. We’re not a food bank, we are purely a food reuse project that is open to anyone, and something that works for all ‘Food Sharers’ in the town that mutually benefits all organisations; and of course, benefiting people and planet too.

"We share food on Tuesdays between 12:00 and 6:00 and Thursdays between 10:00 and 2:00, at our #EcoHub at #SwanspoolPavilion, with surplus food from Food Sharers, retailers and community friends. We have lots of fresh fruit and veg, bread and other treats plus, the kettle’s on too if you fancy a coffee or tea! Your donations will also be shared with sharers!

"Food Sharers is a sharing community, it will evolve into a #CommunityFridge and food reuse café and it will include a food buying club for people to buy food in bulk from wholesalers. #Wellingborough Eco Group and ‘Food Sharers’ are not, nor will ever be a food bank. Food Sharers is simply a #FoodReuse project open to everyone.

Be a Food Sharer, share on Facebook at facebook.com/groups/foodsharer and at ECO HUB, Tuesdays 12-6 and Thursdays 10-2. Love food, hate waste, be a Food Sharer! "
