Food Swapping

I am SO EXCITED, because I get to participate in a food swap for the first time ever this Sunday!  Every year I give away food I have canned and every year like-minded friends give me things that they have made as well.

But this one is ORGANIZED.  They have been doing this for almost a year...and I just found out about them.

PDX Food Swappers  If you go their parent organization website, Sustainable Food for Thought you can find a link to their FAQ page and more info about the evolution of this event.  I am excited to meet the organizers, and they sent me an email today to confirm I am still attending.  They have limited the event to 35 swappers and there is a waiting list!

Here is what I plan to swap:

• Pear Butter (from local pears)
• Spiced Plum Preserves (from a friend's plum tree)
• Blueberry Peach Preserves (from my homestead blueberries and local peaches)
• Homemade Ketchup (from my homestead tomato's)
• Jar of Joy (from home grown tomato's, garlic, thyme, oregano)
• Green Tomato Chutney (from my homestead tomato's)
• I may also get inspired this week and make some lotion and balms to take along!

Blueberry Peach Preserves

Who knows what kind of bootie will be mine?
