SUMMARY:Yarraville Food Swap

These talks will run from 9.45am for a 10am start.

They each tend to have their own characteristic flavour and behaviour!\n~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\nPlease note that this event is being held at the Yarraville Community Centre on Blackwood Street – NOT the one on Francis Street.\n\n*To find out more about food swaps – what they are and how they run\, head over to https://localfoodconnect.org.au/food-swaps/.\n\nThis event is hosted by Permaculture Out West with the kind support of the Yarraville Community Centre and the Seddon Community Bank\, Bendigo Bank.
