Trading your extra veggies with your neighbors via a new website

http://www.kplu.org/post/cropswap-website-takes-barter-between-home-gardeners-online

The idea is that because the CropSwap site is searchable, people have a better shot at finding things they actually want, rather than taking what’s available at old-fashioned swap meets.

It has its limits right now, because there are only a couple hundred members so far. In other cities, similar ideas have fizzled in the past.

The site is designed to generate revenue when users pay an annual membership fee. For people who’d rather give their extra food to the hungry, there’s also a “willing to donate” option.
