PREECEVILLE — The annual veggie exchange was another huge success with garden producers sharing extra vegetables with their fellow gardeners.
The program was sponsored by the Preeceville and District Ministerial Association with produce dropped off from Sept. 26-28 at three separate locations.
"Gardeners were encouraged to exchange extra vegetables with others who were short of something," said Hein Bertram, chairperson of the Ministerial Association. "There were quite a few individuals that took part in the exchange with some vegetables left over. The community has really come together and we are happy to be donating the remaining vegetables to the local organizations who will put them to good use."
Produce was dropped off at three sites: the Anglican Church in Endeavour; the Lutheran Church garage in Preeceville, and the United Church hall in Sturgis.
Vegetables included: carrots, tomatoes, potatoes, beets, assorted melons, pumpkins and spaghetti squash.
The leftover produce was donated to local organizations in Preeceville and Sturgis.
