Our First Exchange Date!

We are planning to hold our first produce exchange on Saturday, June 6, 2009! We've already gotten emails from those who'd like to participate and are very excited about all the yummy items we'll be sharing/receiving that day. Stay tuned for more details and please send an email to mercedshares@yahoo.com if you would like to join us!

What a great idea! I don't live in Merced, but I have a few friends who do and I'll be forwarding the link to them!

Here's How it Works:

To sign up or for more information, please send an email to: mercedshares@yahoo.com

Each month you will receive an email about the next exchange date-always a Saturday. If you would like to participate, send an email back with what you have available to share from your yard-fruit, vegetables, herbs or flowers. Drop off your harvest at the designated location by noon, and later that day you will receive a share of all the items that were brought in.

It's just that simple, and it's FREE!

We hope to reduce and/or eliminate:
-wasted or rotting produce
-needless trips to the grocery store
-excess bags used to haul stuff from the grocery store
-fuel used to go to the store
-fuel used to truck in/fly in produce

We hope that being involved will promote:
-getting to know our neighbors
-cooking with fresh, local ingredients
-sharing and generosity
-smiles!
