We believe a bonanza of fruits, vegetables,
fresh herbs and more are found right in your
own backyard—and your neighbors’ yard too.
It's local, affordable and sustainable, but we've noticed a lot of it goes to waste. You plant too many tomatoes, or your plum tree has a bumper crop, most of which is enjoyed by the sidewalk and the grass...
So we’ve launched Veggie Trader – a free resource
for
bringing good food and good people together.
Sign-up and give it a try!

Wish you could turn your excess plums into lemons, or maybe
even a little cash? Use this site to find neighbors to swap with
or sell your excess produce to. Or if you specialize in growing tomatoes, find neighbors who specialize in other produce and
form networks to share in the variety.
Even if you don't have a garden, Veggie Trader is your place for finding local food near you.

Everything starts out small, but we believe Veggie Trader can
become an important resource for
growing strong local food communities. Be among the first in your neighborhood to list
your excess
produce for sale or trade, and then see what
happens... Give it some time and spread the word.
We hope
this site will grow and grow, but we need your help!
