Food Swap at Edendale, Eltham
Michele has run this swap for the last couple of years and is passionate about engaging people to try new fruit and vegetables. Thank you Michele! Unfortunately she is unable to continue with the swap next year so we are looking for a new facilitator for the Eltham Swap. It requires someone willing to setup, with help, each month, keep records of food swapped and liaise with members of the Local Food community. Are you that person? If so, please contact LFC Food Swap Coordinator Fay Loveland ph 0405 790150, or fay.loveland@gmail.com.
