Bring healthy birds (adults, pullets, chicks or hatching eggs) in your own carrier to trade with others or to sell. So far, there will be Ameraucanas, Orpingtons, Cochins and Jersey Giants available, but the list is growing every day. If you plan to purchase chickens or chicks to take home, please bring a carrier or box in which to transport them.

If you would rather exchange seeds, then the community seed swap from 9 a.m.- 2 p.m. is for you. Bring your favorite variety of seeds to share with others and take home something new to try without having to purchase a whole packet. The seed swap is also a great place to network with other local gardeners and farmers.
