If you find yourself with a surplus of garden produce, or if you had a crop that didn’t make it to harvest, the Garden Exchange is a wonderful opportunity to exchange with other SonRise gardeners.  The group follows a bring-a-vegetable, take-a-vegetable kind of principle.

The Garden Exchange table will be set up in the lobby from approximately May through October.  Anyone can bring produce to exchange at anytime – no need to “join the group.”  Bring your produce and place it in the appropriate baskets, marked organic and sprayed/treated.  Please wash your produce before bringing it to church.

If there is interest, a jams and jellies exchange will be held in October or November.
