PEI Food Swap

The goal of the PEI Food Swap is to provide an environment for people to swap their grown or gathered food surpluses with each other to get more from their harvest and reduce food waste.

Benefits of the Food Swap:

• creation of a like minded community of people
• reduce the need for you to grow everything yourself and increase the ability for you to specialize on the things you prefer to grow
• reduced waste of excess produce
• increased variety as you may try things you might not otherwise have grown
• knowledge transfer between members of the community
• assist in planning into the next season if you can line up planned exchanges where you might grow more of something in order to trade with someone else doing the same for you
• opportunities for shared effort in exchange for shared food

PEI Landshare

Landshare is teaming people with space to garden with those that wish to garden. Typically this is done for a share of the crop, but that is left up to the parties involved. To participate head to the Landshare page.

The 2011 Buy PEI, Fresh Produce Directory can be found here.

Landshare has setup a Canadian version, check it out here.
