Green Dean's Crop Swaps, now in our 6th year!, are a monthly community gathering to share, swap, trade and talk about fresh organic home-grown produce, home-made food, recyclables and green ideas.
About Our Crop Swaps
- We are a 100% not-for-profit project
- All members of the community are welcome
- All homegrown vegies, fruit, herbs, seedlings, seeds, plants, trees, flowers, craft, and homemade food are welcome
- No amount of produce is too small or too big to bring along
- It’s a great place to share food and garden tips, info and ideas
- Bring along your ‘green’ promotional material to display
If you know what you'll be bringing in advance, please let us know or post it on our Facebook page
A Few Guidelines
- All fresh produce must be homegrown and organic - no purchased food
- All other food must be homemade, eg. herbal teas, biscuits, cakes, honey, etc
- No produce can be sold or bought at this gathering - swap or give away only
- No money is exchanged for produce at this gathering
- It is up to each person to negotiate the value of the produce they are swapping or sharing. It does not have to be equal value trading. For example, you are welcome to swap 1 egg for a bag of potatoes, or give away your produce for free
- Children must be accompanied by an adult
Gatherings are held as advised on the events calendar and on the Facebook page.
- MORNING CROP SWAPS 9am - 1pm

We also offer a free presentation/guest speaker at each Crop Swap on a food, garden or health topic. If you'd like to present something please let us know.
