Crop Swap is a unique and exciting opportunity for Singleton community to gather, share and access locally home-grown fresh produce.

This community initiative is facilitated by Singleton Slow Food in partnership with Singleton Public Library and Singleton Council.

Crop Swap is held on the third Saturday of each month at Singleton Public Library from 9.30 – 10.30am.

How does Crop Swap work?

  1. Harvest your home grown produce
  2. 9.30 - 9.50am: Donate it to the crop swap table and retrieve your swapper card
  3. 10am: Swap for available locally home-grown fresh produce

It’s that simple!

Don’t have any locally home-grown produce to swap? No worries!

After the swap takes place, the swap table will open to community members for a small donation to Slow Food Singleton, who also facilitate a plethora of other incredible community initiatives including the winter Citrus Rescue, a yearly Edible Garden Trail and the Seed Library in conjunction with Singleton Public Library. 

What CAN be swapped:

  • Fruit, vegetables and herbs that have been harvested, dirt removed, but not washed or processed in any way
  • Vegies like pumpkins may be cut if needed, but we prefer if they are swapped whole
  • Seedlings of edible plants ONLY (i.e. fruit and vegetable)
  • Eggs ONLY if they are stamped as per Food Authority requirements
  • Nuts – only if in a container and clearly labelled

What CAN’T be swapped:

  • Eggs if they are not stamped as per Food Authority requirements
  • Seedlings of non-edible plants
  • Honey
  • Pots of succulents
  • Any prepared food e.g. relishes, jams, bread, cake etc.
