APRIL 30th
The 14th Annual Old-Timey Seed Swap
1pm-sundown
Grove Creek Farm, Crawford, GA
Spring is here, so get ready for the 14th Annual Old-Timey Seed Swap. Join us on Saturday, April 30th from 1pm until the campfire dies at Grove Creek Farm (formerly Agrarian Connections Farm) in Crawford, GA, only fifteen minutes east of Athens.
Since 1996, the Old-Timey Seed Swap has been a place for folks to share stories, knowledge, music, and heirloom seeds in the spirit of preserving and reviving the South’s traditional agricultural ways.
Come enjoy kids activities, including games and face-painting, live foot-stompin’ music (bring your instruments for the evening fire-side jam!), and delicious local whole-hog BBQ. Browse the booths of local artisans and farmers, and don’t forget to bring seeds and plants to swap!
Locally produced food and drinks provided by PLACE, SlowFood Athens, and the Clamberskull Brew Collective. $5 food donation and $3 for drinks--or bring a side dish to share. Bring a chair/blanket to sit and a mug for drinks!
If you are a local farmer, seed-saver or artist and would like to have a booth at the Seed Swap, or if you would like more information, email folkathens@gmail.com or visit our website localplace.org
We're also still looking for bands, if you are intersted in playing please contact us!
Seed Swap is brought to you by FOLK and PLACE with help from The Center for Integrative Conservation Research (CICR) and UGA Anthropology Society.
