Last night I went to the Food Swap Barnaby event, it was also their first event ever. I had lots of fun and swapped a lot of goodies. The Food Swap Burnaby is an event where you can swap home made food such as jams, baked goods, preserves, etc. with what other people brought. It is like buying with what you have brought. Their Facebook page is here. First we got to mingle, taste some samples, and then we started swapping. I forgot to take my camera 🙁 but still managed to take some photos with my phone.
TaDa! This was my station, I swapped my peach jam and macarons, samples provided too! People asked me if I sell them, actually I have never sold my macarons, maybe I should consider. 🙂
Some serious canning here.
Someone brought pottery!
Someone keeps a bee hive in their backyard and harvests the honey – good stuff!
Homemade crackers and granola with nuts and dried fruits. I swapped a bag too!
They look professional, and tasted delicious too!
In return, I took home these:
I had a fun experience at the food swap, I definitely want to go to more swapping events!
[UPDATE Feb. 24/2012] More photos of the swap can be found here at the Burnaby New Leader!
This swap looks like so much fun (and yummy!). Your macarons look perfect – you should totally think about selling them 🙂
Thank you for stopping by Stephanie, the photos on your blog look great! It was actually my sixth time baking macarons, it was difficult to make them look good…:P
great pics! Looks like a grreat variety! Love the pottery! how cool is that!
Thanks! Yes, the pottery was very nice, the owner even brought free range eggs.
How Wonderful! I’m very excited by all of this! Thank you for sharing!
Oh my goodness, this sounds so much fun. I hope that we have such event here too. Then we all get the chance to taste other homemade produces with no guilt. hehe….
