Announcing our Summer 2011 Portland Hand Crafted Food Swap!
Hosted by Sustainable Food for Thought at Abby's Table in SE Portland
 |
To RSVP for our July 30th Swap, read below and send us an email. There are only 35 swapping spaces being released at this time, so RSVP early to claim your spot...
Invite Friends & Spread the Word:
After putting up, whipping up, drying, canning, soaking, mixing, stacking, sorting, and setting aside, come celebrate by bringing your favorite creations to swap with fellow Portland foodies.
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 rub shoulders with friend and neighbors?
When: Saturday, July 30th, 2011, 7pm-9pm
Where: Abby's Table, 609 SE Ankeny Street, Portland, OR 97214
What: Bring an assortment of your homemade edible specialties to exchange for other handcrafted delights. Sustainable Food For Thought will provide swapping cards, name tags, and organization for the event. 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.
Who: Pacific Northwesterners {aka the Willamette Valley, the Portland Metro Area, and our Neighbors to the North}. Please note, we are unable to provide childcare for this event.
Cost: Swap participants will be given free entry; a donation jar will be available to help cover the cost of supplies. (Or, better yet, donate one of your hand crafted goods!)
{How?}
a) RSVP to sustainablefoodforthought@gmail.com
Please provide your name, contact info, and a description of items you plan to trade.
Due to limited space, we are capping the number of swappers at 35 and will keep a waiting list after that, so register early.
b) On Saturday the 30th, please bring your hand crafted goods + a contribution to the appetizer potluck.
c) Simple as that! We’re so excited to meet one another and celebrate the bounty of the seasons and the fruits of our labor~
{A Very Kind Thank-You}
