The Great Food Swap: Londoners share their bounty

A social enterprise group in London called "Growing Communities" have found a way to cut down on spending money for groceries. For several years now, they have put on an annual event called "The Great Food Swap" where members get together to share a wide range of wonderful produce that they had made, grown, picked or found. At the last winter event, participants traded mince pies, oyster mushrooms, home made yoghurts and home made bread.

Growing Communities hopes to inspire people's skills in food growing and food making, as well build excitement about home-produced and seasonal food.
