- **Event Description**: So the 1st Crop Swap for the 2026 summer season is on this Saturday 17th January and continuing fortnightly until April/May when we will have our Autumn Crop Swap/Potluck Shared Meal.

Come join us on SATURDAY, Jan 17th, for our FORTNIGHTLY South Canterbury Crop Swap (our 6th season)! ALL NEWBIES WELCOME!  

ON RAIN or SHINE!

Summer produce is well under way (although more sun would be appreciated) with plenty of berries, plums, greens, courgettes, potatoes &amp; tomatoes, cucumbers, capsicums coming on slowly.  Also bring any excess seedlings to share &amp; swap so others can plant. 

REMEMBER IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT PRODUCE TO SWAP OR SHARE - ANYTHING THAT NEEDS A NEW HOME OR ANY SKILL/SERVICE YOU WOULD LIKE TO OFFER ALSO!

HAVE A NEW YEAR'S CLEAN OUT &amp; SAVE WHAT YOU NO LONGER NEED FOR THE CROP SWAPS!

Start posting about what you will bring or what you might need &amp; gather up your swap/share items whether it's organic or spray-free fresh garden produce, plants (indoor &amp; outdoor), seeds, seedlings, healthful baking, books, DVDs, preserves, crafts, jewelry, skincare, lotions &amp; potions, clothing, footwear, handbags, 2nd hand op shop finds, furniture, homewares or a voucher with a service or time offering you wish to swap/share - feel free to think outside the box for this ?

REMEMBER THIS CROP SWAP SEASON THE AMORE FOOD SHOP HAS NO STORAGE SO WHAT YOU BRING THAT IS LEFT OVER YOU HAVE TO TAKE HOME! WE WILL STILL SUPPLY DISPLAY TABLES &amp; PALLETS &amp; OUR DOUBLE GAZEBO FOR SHELTER. YOU CAN BRING THE SAME THINGS MORE THAN ONCE AS THERE WILL OFTEN BE DIFFERENT FOLKS COMING AT DIFFERENT SWAPS!

Please have all goodies loaded onto the communal share/swap tables/area by 4.10 pm approx thanks, then we can aim to start mindfully browsing around 4.20 pm then 5 minutes later will ring the bell &amp; all can start shopping (remember to bring a basket, bags, car boot or trailer for bigger items to take your swap/share goodies home).

HELP is needed to set up/pack down the crop swap tables, gazebo &amp; general setup from 3.45 pm onwards which is greatly appreciated thanks &amp; afterward around 4.45pm.

Remember NO MONEY is exchanged or $$ value mentioned as this is totally based on giving freely and only mindfully taking what you need and can give a new home and if your items are not needing a new home this time you can take back home for another time.

We all have something to offer and share even if we think we don't and what we might consider as not of value is of great value to someone else.

All are welcome to bring a chair and a non-alcoholic drink to enjoy chit-chat and community crop swap banter.
Can even bring your well-behaved and socialized fur friends as they too might have something to share. We have had live music at some of our events so the vibe is friendly &amp; relaxed &amp; we welcome any other musicians who want to have a practice performing in front of a smaller friendly community group ?

MUSICIANS ARE WELCOME TO ENTERTAIN AS YOUR SHARE!
We really look forward to everyone attending this SATURDAY 6th December showing a community spirit &amp; being supportive of this volunteer-run community initiative.

Crop Swap will go ahead rain or shine as we have shelter available so come enjoy the chilled relaxed atmosphere &amp; meet other like-minded crop swap community members. ?

See you there!
