A Community Project

Neighbors from the Oak Park Community in Sacramento, Ca, have created the Oak Park Crop Swap. This is a community effort to grow produce in our front and backyards and meet on a weekly basis to trade our vegetables. The trading will begin in July 2008 and continue throughout the growing season. Neighbors will meet at McClatchy Park at 3:00 every Sunday to trade produce. Additionally, speakers will be scheduled after the trading to give community members tips on gardening and food preserving. If you have ideas for speakers or would like to give a presentation leave a note in the comments. Enjoying the food we grow and visiting each other's gardens is a big part of our group- periodic potlucks at members homes will be organized.
