BONUS 5TH WEDNESDAY JULY 30!
6:00 p.m. -- 8:00 p.m. @ the Satori Healing Center, 1180 Palmetto Avenue (backyard). Please do not park in front of the neighbors' houses. Thanks to Luke, Jacia, Devon, and the rest of the Satori residents for welcoming the Swap Meet back at your home.
FREE GARDENER'S SWAP MEETS
Do you have an excess of eggplants and a shortage of tomatoes? A plethora of peaches but a craving for apricots? Fill your ChicoBag (or container of choice) with your extra (but edible) home-grown fruits and/or veggies and SWAP them with another grower for something you like better. The swap meets are a free, weekly, community-building event sponsored by the Chico Food Network. Don' have a garden? No problem--wild blackberries, the fruit from neglected plum trees and the like are welcome as well, but please avoid picking from plants growing close to major roads.
Gardeners' Swap Meets will be held Wednesday evenings in Chico from June 4 to October 8. Biking or walking is recommended. As with last year, please plan on going home with at least as much
produce as you arrive with. Unloading seven zucchini and taking a
single plum is not nice.
