Crop Swap Hawera

Crop Swap Hawera brings together people keen to swap garden and kitchen abundance. Please bring a gold coin donation to go towards hall hire. Children welcome.

Crop Swaps are held once a month on a Saturday at 1pm, Presbyterian Centre Argyle Street, Hawera. Crop Swap Meetings are a chance to get together to share our garden and kitchen surplus in a spirit of generosity and fairness, to connect with like-minded people and to foster local food production in our kitchens and backyards.
