It's peak garden harvest season in Charlotte! The Charlotte Grange welcomes you to bring surplus garden harvest to share and swap with neighbors. Bring your surplus, and enjoy a short canning and food preservation demonstration by our President Tai Dinnan.
No money is exchanged, and all are welcome to select vegetables. Participants in the swap can pick whatever they’d like for their families during the event. If you just need produce for your family and do not have anything to donate, you are welcome to just "shop." Any remaining items will be distributed by the Charlotte Food Shelf.
The General plan:
5:30-5:45pm: Arrive with any surplus veggies/harvest, lay out produce on tables with labels as necessary
5:45pm: Demo by local food producer/homesteader
6:00pm: Go shopping! Gather any items you'd like to go home with, chat with fellow gardeners, and share recipe ideas.
