2008 Gardeners' Swap Meets

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.

Here is the menu for the Chico Food Network Real Food Dinner 11/4 at Grilla Bites. All of the primary ingredients come from local organic farms and from local-natural producers. The few ingredients that are not provided by locals, like chocolate, will be purchased at Chico Natural Foods Cooperative. Real Food is our own title that we feel represents the principles practiced by our brothers and sisters who live the Slow Food way...focusing on locally grown and produced organic-natural (sustainable) artisan foods. "Without a sustainable environment, there can not be a sustainable democracy". -Robert F. Kennedy Jr. Please read more to see the menu for the evening!
