The Brisbane Food Exchange encourages people of urban city area’s to grow their own food and swap it amongst their neighbours. We are only a small community, running only within one street in Brisbane so far, but we’d love you to help us grow.

Growing your own fruit, vegetables and herbs is important today due to increasing concerns about the freshness, quality, chemical inputs, rising costs, food miles and availability of the fresh food we consume. The process can be very rewarding not only to you, your family and the planet, but to your wallet as well.

​

Once your garden is set up you will reap the rewards through fresh produce that tastes at least 10 times better than anything brought at the supermarket. This is purely due to the fresh quality journey the fruit or vegetable has undergone; straight from the garden to the plate. But, what do you do when you’ve got too many pumpkins, but are lacking in broccoli, and you know that Jack next door has plenty of broccoli? You swap it! 



Join our ever-growing community!
 



 

What is the Brisbane
Food Exchange?

“The middle-men are a dead-set mafia. We (farmers) put everything in; they take two-thirds of the profit."
