Vegetable Liberation League

Don't you hate the idea of wasting food? Wouldn't you like to liberate some vegetables from the garbage can? Veggie Trader has the answer. Just celebrating the five month mark, this internet swap site lets you know what’s growing behind others’ garden gates and connects those with produce to spare with others who want it.

Veggie Trader works in a Craigslist like format with members post up listings of the produce they have to sell or trade. The two parties then make their own arrangements to meet and swap goods. Location is the bottom line for trading to be practical, so sign up requires a zip code. It's sort of like the real estate market, location, location location. This puts new meaning into the phrase --hey mom what's for dinner? Or that could be dad, if mom works more than dad, and that happens a lot these days.
