(e.g. when everything comes ripe at once, there's no way you're gonna use it all, so why not 'trade' for other goods/produce from someone else's garden or passion project) Saw this mirrored in Nevada City on a street corner recently too...so it CAN be done in an honor system, communal way! (and some amazing produce too!) I may try it here on my funky little island...using an herb garden to get folks started!)
