Hey everybody! Sorry I’ve been absent for a bit, it got busy over here.
Who’s up for some brainstorming for meeting places?

Hey everyone!
I'm doing some research on the legality of hosting this as a regular event. Here's what I've come up with so far. Please feel free to make suggestions or impart any knowledge you have!
And again, thank you so much for all of the interest and response, I love that we have so many people eager to share their talents!

1. This will have to be limited to swaps and trades for all items that are not fruit, veggies, or eggs. These three items can be paid for in cash. Vendors who are familiar with California Cottage Laws and are licensed vendors can accept cash at their discretion.

2. Leave the meat. If you have meat to trade please bring a menu of what you have to offer and make arrangements to do a private trade/transaction at a later time. (I personally am actively looking for a local meat source so this bums me out a little, but I think this is an excellent way to at least make connections.)

3. You are trading at your own discretion. If you do not feel that something is safe or has been preserved in a way you are comfortable with, move along. That said, anyone who is trading canned and preserved goods, please know the safety guidelines and don't poison anyone.

That's what I have for now, please share your knowledge and tips and I'll start working on a meet-up!

Hello all new people!

The buy/sell/trade post seems to have worked and that’s wonderful! So welcome, let’s see what you’ve got, and let’s set up a meeting and get some good trades/sales/whatchagots going!

Currently in the works: apricot+scotch-bonnet jam. Peppers courtesy of my incredible bf Evan Threlkeld, apricots from my friend Cindy’s gorgeous trees.

I can’t wait to get more people involved with all the things you all do and make and love.

Thank you! ❤️

So the way I am hoping this will work is that people will share the heck out of this page and hopefully we can build up a little community of bakers, farmers, artists...whatever you have/do that is special and you want to share/trade.
Sometimes we are swimming in fresh eggs. Sometimes we need old veggies that would otherwise be tossed to feed the chickens. Or maybe you have a unique skill/trade that you’d be willing to share in exchange for another service or good.
We rarely have disposable income, but we are ridiculously wealthy in seedlings, eggs, jams, breads, art... I’m thinking to do a bi-weekly mini-farmer’s market thing where we can share what we have.
So let me know what you have!
