Food Swap

A food swap is a delicious way to diversify your homemade foods while getting to know like-minded people. It’s also a sustainable practice, allowing seasonal, local food to be shared and preventing food waste.

How does it work?

At a food swap, cooks, bakers, canners, growers, and foragers get together to trade their homemade and homegrown food items.

Key elements:

  1. No money changes hands.  Trading, not buying, is what the food swap movement is about.
  2. All items must be made, foraged or grown by the participants.
  3. You cannot buy something in a store or at a market and bring it to a food swap to trade. You must bring something homemade or homegrown.
