3rd Anniversary Prodcue Exchange & Potluck

Celebrate Good Times Come On...... 
All you generous, loyal gardeners and exchangers.

Can you believe we've been doing this for 
3 years?
This year's theme is PIE - sweet or savory pies, tarts, turnovers, empanadas, calzones, quiche or galettes.

Bring your favorite and come share some of the others.

Sunday August 5th
Lisa's House
6476 Hummingbird Street
12 noon

Remember this is a free neighborhood exchange of all the Fruits,
Vegetables, Herbs and Flowers that we grow in our yards.
A collective in which we all get to enjoy some of what everyone grows
in exchange for contributing what we don't want or won't use ourselves.

A little cheesey

Liz and Gary will be hosting the upcoming Produce Exchange on 
Sunday July 15th at their home at 
1682 Ocean Ave at
12 noon.


Liz has offered a cheese 
making demo to show the relative simplicity of this process. 
C'est Cheese!



I'm just bringing the rosemary bread to go with....
Hope to see you there.
