You can find people within your community who can offer things that you may need. It could be the place where you trade your surplus backyard organic fruit and veggies, or sell your fantastic homemade bottled jams. Or perhaps you produce arts and crafts..... As long as it's made locally, you can list it on the directory for Free.
It's all about buying local, meeting people within your own community and having some fun doing so."
