The first Urban Orchard was held on Saturday 3 November, at the Clarence Park Community Centre. The Urban Orchard is a homegrown fruit and vegetable exchange, enjoying a brisk trade and much discussion over the morning.

The Urban Orchard is based on the exchange of backyard fruit and vegetable surplus. Participation is open to everyone, and participants are invited to take produce when they can use it, and contribute when they can.

As the Urban Orchard develops, we hope to also publish a short guide to how you can start similar programs in your own local area. The Urban Orchard is an initiative of Friends of the Earth Adelaide and the Goodwood Goodfood Co-op.
