MAKE IT, BAKE IT, GROW IT...SWAP IT!!!
Deloraine Produce Swap’s Inaugural
HARVEST FESTIVAL
Saturday, April 2nd 10 —3pm
Saturday, April 2nd 10 —3pm
at Round The Bend Art Shed
The Deloraine Produce Swap meets weekly during the growing season in an effort to reduce waste, reduce food miles - and to live more economically, sustainably and to share our pleasure in gardening over a friendly cuppa.
The Harvest Festival seeks to promote the Produce Swap by getting the community involved in this worthwhile project whilst having a fun day out. We’ve found folks are happy to bring produce to share; however many are reluctant to take food in return. In the hopes that we can overcome this
the Festival is a free event.
Free food, free music, free games, free competitions!
Cooking Demonstrations!
We appreciate the support of Patrick Gambles and DJ Selina, and are busily signing up other volunteers to provide the entertainment, food & drinks, support staff and equipment needed to make this a mellow yet memorable day.
Ph: Megan 0434 593 430 for more information & to volunteer to help.
