Western Bay Crop Swap - Saturday 7th September
We invite backyard gardeners, home bakers and food foragers to bring along high quality local food to swap and share.
We welcome vegetables, fruits, plants, flowers, seedlings, herbs, eggs, preserves, jams, baking, liquid manure, gardening books, magazines, planting containers, seeds, sprouts, microgreens.
“Everyone takes a little of what they need with an attitude of generosity and being mindful of sharing with others”.
How it works:
Bring your produce to swap or share. After half an hour of chatting and connecting with other produce providers, the swap is opened with a brief introduction and everyone is welcome to take a fair share of what they are interested in. Everything is free. Baskets fill, tables clear and everyone leaves with fresh local produce and a big smile.
Mother Nature is abundant and when we share her gifts we all thrive!

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
