Swap your fresh produce
Hi neighbours,
Have you joined the Magic Beans Hawke's Bay facebook group? If you grow your own food and sometimes have an excess, why not trade with your neighbours for other produce you don't have?
Magic Beans is about growing community primarily through the swapping of homegrown food and items that help with the production of homegrown food (eg horse/cow/sheep manure, pots and planters, compost, garden stakes, jars for preserving, egg cartons).
So jump on facebook and get involved today (don't let that tree full of citrus go to waste while you spend your hard earned $$$ on produce you might be able to get for free - and meet a greenthumbed neighbour while you're at it!).

59.5% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
24.6% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.9% ... It is complicated
