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.
