Offer: 1 kg Allotment strawberries — 1kg, picked to order
Our patch is going mad. Sweet and small, the proper old-fashioned varieties. Will pick the morning of the swap. Newcastle pickup only.
Offer: 5 kg Cox apples from the back garden — 5kg
Our tree has gone bonkers this year. Lovely tart Coxes, not perfect-looking but they taste incredible. Will pick fresh on the day of the swap.

How swapping fruit works
Fruit is part of Fresh Fruit & Vegetables on Swapster — the UK marketplace where members trade items directly instead of buying and selling for cash.
-
Is it safe to swap homemade food with other members?
- List allergens and ingredients clearly, and only swap homemade items you'd be confident serving to your own family — the other person can't see your kitchen, so clear labelling is what makes it safe.
-
Can I swap food that's close to its use-by date?
- Yes, but say so explicitly and arrange a quick handover — "best before" items with plenty of shelf life left are fine to list normally, but anything near a "use by" date should be flagged so it gets collected in time.
-
How does swapping surplus homegrown produce work?
- List what you've got and roughly how much (a bag of tomatoes, a punnet of herbs), and be ready to swap the same day or next — fresh produce moves fastest and shouldn't sit in a listing for a week.
-
Do frozen food swaps need special handling?
- Yes — arrange a short handover window and keep items frozen right up until collection. Frozen swaps work best as local, same-day exchanges rather than anything requiring delivery or storage in transit.
