treebeige.jpgwhy BARTER ?
To start with the system of swapping often called bartering, you need to be very sure of what you have to offer and what you are intending to get out of it.

The whole ethos of Let`s Grow to help grow a caring, sharing community & a self sufficent society. 

If you grow your own vegetables, what do you expect to have a surplus of at harvest time? Do you keep goats, chickens or a cow? If so, you are likely to have a regular supply of eggs, or milk, yoghurt and cheese that you could use to exchange for goods. (READ MORE)

treebeige.jpgHOW IT WORKS:
IN SHORT, THERE ARE THREE WAYS YOU CAN BARTER WITHIN LET`S GROW. 
  • 1/. treebeige.jpgTHE FORMAL BARTER
YOU KNOW WHAT YOU NEED OR WANT TO SWAP. YOU HAVE A ROUGH IDEA HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST AND YOU HAVE ENOUGH PRODUCE WITH WHICH TO BARTER. WITH LET`S GROW THIS IS FREE!.
  • 2/. treebeige.jpgTHE INFORMAL BARTER
SOMETIMES IT IS EASIER TO LEAVE YOUR OPTIONS OPEN AND SEE WHAT TURNS UP. BECAUSE WE ARE DEALING IN COMMODITIES.  WITH LET`S GROW THIS IS FREE! HOWEVER YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO GET WHAT YOU WANT AT THE TIME . AND MAY THEREFORE DECIDE TO USE THE BARTERB@NK SYSTEM

MEMBERSHIP  ALLOWS YOU TO BANK CREDITS IN THE FORM OF VOUCHERS. BY USING OUR OWN ALTERNATIVE MONITARY SYSTEM. INSTEAD OF POUNDS AND PENCE WE USE BLESSINGS (EQUIVILENT TO £5G.B.P) & SHACKLES (EQUIVILENT TO £10). THIS SYSTEM IS BASED ON TRUSTING OTHER MEMBERS TO KEEP FAITH WITH THE SYSTEM. IF YOU FEEL YOU CANNOT TRUST PEOPLE THEN THIS SYSTEM IS NOT FOR YOU. THERE IS A £5 SIGNING ON FEE WHICH IS DUE FOR RENEWAL ANNUALLY (EVERY 12 MONTHS). (TERMS AND CONDITIONS)

UNLIKE BARTERING GIFTING IS MORE ABOUT GETTING RID OF UNWANTED SECOND HAND ARTICLES AND POSSESSIONS. UNLIKE OTHER GIFTING SCHEMES LET`S GROW ALLOWS YOU TO CLAIM VOUCHERS (BLESSINGS & SHACKLES) THIS OPTION IS 0PEN TO BARTERB@ANK MEMBERS ONLY.
