FOOD AND CULTURE SWAP – a Culture interest event taking place on 2016-07-27 18:00:00 in United States
Join Preserved and Emily Paster, Author of FOOD SWAP for a community event bringing together passionate home cooks, canners, fermentistas and gardeners to trade their homemade and homegrown edible goods. Show off your delightful creations, share heirloom cultures (sourdough, kombucha, buttermilk, kefir, etc), stock your pantry, and get some inspiration all while meeting other like-minded individuals. Who can participate? This is not a forum for commercial sellers and growers. All the participants must be individuals trading goods that they made or grew themselves. Some examples of popular food swap items include jams, pickles, salsa or relishes, ferments of all kinds, infusions, and live heirloom cultures. Feel free to bring samples for tasting. How does it work? Items are swapped one for one, so please keep that mind when making and packaging your goods. Bring as many or as few items as you would like. First, swappers set up with their wares — please keep in mind that people will want to examine your goods, so package them accordingly. Swappers should label all items or bring a swap card for each different item that they intend to swap. So for example, if you bring five jars of strawberry jam and 3 jars of dilly beans, you would fill out two swap cards: one for the jam and one for beans. The swap card lists what the item is, the ingredients it contains (being mindful of food allergies), suggested uses, if applicable, and has room for people to make trade offers. After the items are set up, everybody circulates around the room. Interested parties offer bids on the swap cards for each item, but these are just a way to open discussion. The first 30 minutes or so is spent circulating and making offers on swap cards and then the actual swapping begins. You are not obligated to swap with anyone, even if you bid on his/her item or he/she bids on yours. Actual swapping takes place through discussion and agreement. Remember, no money is changing hands. All swaps are by barter only. Disclaimer: Please be aware that all goods are made in home kitchens by private individuals, not professionals. We expect all swappers to maintain the highest standards of cleanliness and food safety in the preparation of their items. Nevertheless, by participating in the swap you acknowledge that the items available are not made in licensed kitchens or inspected by any government agency. Preserved does not provide any guarantees or assurances about the safety of the swap items.
