Borrowed-sugar culture didn’t die; it’s just waiting for somebody to go first. A bag of tomatoes with a handwritten recipe is a conversation opener disguised as a vegetable.
Run a Doorstep Farmers Market
When the garden overflows — or the store deal was too good — bag up tomatoes or peaches and leave them on three doorsteps with a recipe card for what you'd make.
What you'll need
- Extra produce, garden or store-bought
- Paper bags
- An index card with your go-to recipe for it
Pitfalls
- The recipe card is the difference between produce and a gift. Don't skip it.
- Rotate houses so it's the street's thing, not one household's tab.
- Text after you drop, so nothing wilts on a porch in August.
They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts. — Acts 2:46
