PDX Food Swap Summer 2011 Highlights

With summer fruits finally ripe for the plucking and Oregon sunshine stickin' around, PDX Swappers met together for another terrific food swapping evening on Saturday, July 30th at Abby's Table in SE Portland.


Our group hosts several dozen swappers at our seasonal gatherings and over four hundred fans on our PDX Food Swap Facebook page, and we are excited to see the passion for thoughtfully made food and community connections continue to build...



 


Thanks one and all for another delightful array of home made, hand crafted goodness!
