Major feature
Will Work for Food
Trade honest work for food, goods or useful local items. Clear brush. Stack firewood. Haul feed. Plant rows. Fix a fence. Load a truck. Clean up a property. Useful work still has value.
A jar of honey, a stack of firewood, a repaired tool, a morning of honest work.
Some trades do not need a checkout button. They need clear words, useful work and two people who follow the rules.

Simple trade rule
Meet safely. Use common sense. Do not post exact public addresses. Regulated goods must follow applicable laws. Alcohol, wine and brews are only allowed where legal and only for users of legal age. This platform is a connection tool, not a seller, broker, inspector, guarantor or legal advisor.
Not random resale
How is Local Trade Garden different from Facebook Marketplace?
Local Trade Garden is not built for random resale listings or cash-first selling. It is focused on cash-free local trades for things made, grown, raised, repaired, taught or earned through honest work.
The first local pilot group starts small on purpose.
