Central OC Food Swap

A Food Swap is part silent auction/part village marketplace/part fun-loving open house where your homemade creations (breads, preserves, special concoctions, canned goods, etc.) become your own personal currency for use in swapping with other participants. What better way to diversify your pantry and network with like-minded friends and neighbors?

Details:

We welcome everyone, as long as you bring something you made, grew, or foraged yourself. We will also consider other homemade non-comestibles (soaps, beauty products, etc) on a case-by-case basis.Members and non-members of Slow Food welcome to join us.

Bring an assortment of your homemade edible specialties (think pickles, preserves, baked goods, honey, granola, pasta, fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices’¦ you name it!) to exchange for other handcrafted delights.

You may download your swap cards here and fill them out in advance, or you may pick some up from the Central OC Food Swap upon arrival.

Please download print, sign and date the following release form and bring to the event with you. The release is required to participate.

We will provide tables, name tags and organization for theevent; feel free to bring a chair and any items you will need to merchandise your items. You will be given the opportunity to offer trades in a silent-auction type format, and you will be free to choose which trades to accept for your products. Bring as much or as little as you like; there are no caps or minimums. However, we suggest bringing a minimum of 5-10 items. (We will let everyone know a couple days in advance how many people we are anticipating, so you will have an idea of how many people to expect.) You could bring several of the same item, or an assortment! If possible, please bring samples for others to try!
