tuesday night i attended the third south jersey food swap. there weren't as many swappers as last time, but there were still lots of goodies up for grabs.
connie brought a lot of great things to share and set-up a nice display with watermelon slush for everyone to enjoy. her goods are made with produce from her very own farm.
this swap crept up on me and i was hardly prepared. i went with a last-minute tomato theme and did the best i could with the few hours of prep i left myself.

other items up for swap were garden vegetables, herbs, farm-fresh eggs, delicious chocolate chia pudding, homemade lara bars, baked sweets, thai chili sauce, souper stock, salsa, and more.

felt tomato magnets, tomato basil flax snacks, garden grown and dehydrator-dried plum tomatoes, quinoa with "sun"-dried tomatoes, and a hummus for sampling the crackers.
i'll be sure not to procrastinate for next time!
This looks like fun. I wonder if my town has a food swap....
ReplyDeleteAlso, I love the felt magnets :)
thanks nikki! i found out about it through craigslist.
DeleteI am about to check out Craigslist right now! :)
DeleteOH I love this post so much, Kelli!!! I have to see if they have something like this in my town. I know there have been some vegan cooking and film nights, but I was too shy to take part! Maybe they will make some more this autumn. I could conqour my fear and go, right? :)
