Pop Up Veg Swap Stall

What is a Pop Up Veg Swap?

Pop Up Veg Swap stalls are a great way to deal with an abundance. Anything can be bought to these stalls, including chutney, or spare plants. As well as making sure a glut is put to good use, they also bring the community together for produce-swapping fun!

More Information

The inspiration from this project comes from the Rock Abundance and Chesterton Abundance stalls that were set up in local areas in Cambridge 2014-16. These proved very popular with the local community and an effective way of ensuring one person's glut was turned into another person's treasure! The leadership for these projects has ebbed, but the idea and resources still remain, you are welcome to make use of them in your own community!
