We are a group of organic fruit and vegetable gardeners from Altadena, CA who wish to trade, sell, barter or give our produce away to local neighbors.
We started as neighbors (3 miles above Pasadena, in the foothills) who had too much fruit all at one time. We set up a Fruit Stand and sold Black Berries to passer byers, we traded Plums, Apricots, Lemons, Guavas, Figs, and then later Tomatoes, other Garden Produce, and organic free range chicken eggs with each other.
We started talking to other neighbors and decided that it would be a good idea to share our abundance.
We got together and decided to promote the growing and sharing of local, seasonal, organic food by trading, selling, or giving away our crops. Opportunities for buying in bulk may also happen if this idea appeals to group members, along with canning get togethers.
By sharing our abundance and resources, we strengthen community ties, to create a sustainable, cooperative future. Do you have fruit or vegetables that grow in your yard and you hate to see it all go to waste every year? Join our group and post what you have, and see what we have to offer you!
