Home Gardener Produce Exchange

The Food Recovery Coalition and the Sebastopol Grange Produce Exchange/Donation are teaming up to help you set up a Produce Exchange that works in your area.

The Produce Exchange/Donation held at the Sebastopol Grange is in its 5th year and we’d like to share ideas and sample fliers with those interested in setting up an exchange in their local area. LINK to sample and instructions
Here are a few considerations;
1. Look for an existing group that you can latch onto- for example a religious congregation, a Map Your Neighborhood group, an informal neighborhood group or list, gardeners in your neighborhood

2. Pick a regular date and time; limit the duration to an hour or less. For example, Sebastopol’s exchange is held every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month, 5:00 pm – 5:45pm
3. Find a donation location that will accept any produce that is left over after your exchange
4. Start small and easy and build up

On Tuesday July 25 stop by the Sebastopol Produce Exchange 5pm-5:45pm and check out what we are doing- the hosts will be at a table, ready to answer your questions and provide a sample flier and set up directions. Sebastopol Grange Parking Lot, 6000 Sebastopol Ave, Hwy 12, Sebastopol
