Oakmont Farmers Market Food Swap

What is a food swap, you ask?

A Food Swap is part silent auction/part village marketplace/part fun-loving open house where your home grown, homemade or foraged creations become your own personal currency for use in swapping with other participants.

Join us in the Haverford Township Free Library Community Room (at 1601 Darby Road, Havertown, PA) on Tuesday, May 22, 2012 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM. Preregistration is required here: http://oakmontfarmersmarket.eventbrite.com/

We welcome everyone, as long as you bring something you made, grew, or foraged yourself. You must pre-register to attend. Non-swapping guests are welcome to come and observe.

All swap items must be homemade, homegrown, or foraged by you. Bring an assortment of your homemade edible specialties (think pickles, preserves, eggs, baked goods, preserves, honey, granola, pasta, fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices… you name it!) to exchange for other handcrafted delights. Bring as little or as much as you like (we suggest 10-15 items, but it’s up to you). You can bring a bunch of one thing or multiples of a few different things. The possibilities are endless!

The Honor Code
This is a community event; however, participants must pre-register. It goes without saying that participants are using the highest cleanliness standards in their own kitchens and gardens to prepare their submissions. Nevertheless…
• By participating in this event, you are acknowledging that the food items being traded are not necessarily prepared in any “approved” kitchen or space inspected by any government agency.
• By participating in this event, you are also acknowledging that you will use the highest standards of cleanliness in food preparation.
Questions can be emailed to OakmontFarmersMarket@gmail.com. Please see the Food Swap Network’s “How to Attend” page for FAQs.
