I just became aware of a fantastic new site (and great idea) the other day. It’s known as “Veggie Trader“.
It all started with a lemon tree in a back yard. It was lonely and producing a ton of lemons that were not all getting used. It was with this problem, that an idea was born.
Veggie Trader is our pilot effort to see if we can help more families eat well, make the most of the environment, and put more backyards to work for the benefit of neighbors, community and country.
We think knowing where your food comes from and supporting your
local economy are more important these days than ever. And saving money (or making a little extra) doesn’t hurt either.
It’s free to sign up and if you are someone who’s growing food in your backyard (like I am), then you know how fast the excess can accumulate. (If anyone has ever grown a zucchini plant, you know what I mean!)
But they don’t stop there. Even if you don’t have a garden, it’s a great way to find local produce to buy from local and even micro growers. Yeah!
I’ve personally been using Craigslist and FreeCycle.org to give away my excess, but I’m going to give Veggie Trader a try. You should too!
