Cultivating the informal economy is an important aspect of developing a sustainable local food system. The following list represents potential non-monetary exchanges that may be possible to negotiate in exchange for Root & Branch services. (It is also my hope that this list will inspire others to develop a better understanding of their own needs outside the cash economy.) Non-monetary exchanges are considered on a case-by-case basis.
