From the Facebook event in 2019:
Join the Resilience Hub for our First Annual Seed Swap / Scion Exchange!
We’re partnering with MOFGA and Fedco to host the Seed and Scion Exchange in Southern Maine. Bring any seeds, cuttings and scionwood to swap — or if you don’t have any, bring baked goods, homemade jam, tinctures and salves, anything that you’ve made and want to share with others!
In the past, MOFGA has given away scionwood from well over 200 fruit varieties and is generously donating all leftover sticks from their swap which is the weekend before. They will also supply tape, labels, and markers. Fedco Seeds will have a supply of seeds to share, too! This is going to be a fun, kid-friendly event — come celebrate the start to the end of winter hibernation with our great community!
