Food & Culture Swap

PLEASE READ DETAILS THOROUGHLY:

While this is a free event, we ask that all attendees register as we have limited space available. Please be mindful and let us know if you need to cancel so we can offer your spot to someone else. You can email us at info@preservedgoods.com.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Items are swapped one-for-one, so please keep that in mind when preparing your goods. Bring as many or as few items as you would like to take home! We also encourage you to bring a variety of ferments and preserves (i.e. it doesn't have to be all one of the same item and can be a mix and match of items that you have from your homemade pantry).

We suggest bringing a mix of 6-12 (or more) homemade items like: 

• Jams & Jellies

• Pickles & Chutneys

• Hot Sauces 

• Salsas & Relishes 

• Ferments of all kinds (krauts, kimchees, preserved lemons, misos, etc) 

• Herb & fruit infusions (tinctures, liqueurs, shrubs. etc)

• Live, heirloom cultures (sourdough, kombucha, kefir, yogurt, etc)

• Other homemade abundance! 

Swapping takes place through discussion and agreement. Remember, no money is changing hands. All swaps are one-for-one and by barter only!

BE SURE TO:

• Label all items/jars individually 

• Prepare a list of ingredients, suggested uses and/or care instructions if applicable (perhaps on a single index card - ie. for a sourdough starter, include feeding instructions!)

• Bring samples for tasting - optional but encouraged! 

PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES EARLY TO SET UP.  SWAPPING BEGINS AT 6:00!
