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.

I brought home­made jams and macarons!

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.

Sal­sas

Some seri­ous can­ning here.

Home­made Pottery

Some­one brought pottery!

Honey

Some­one keeps a bee hive in their back­yard and har­vests the honey — good stuff!

Crack­ers and Granola

Home­made crack­ers and gra­nola with nuts and dried fruits. I swapped a bag too!

Coun­try Bread

They look pro­fes­sional, and tasted deli­cious too!

In return, I took home these:

Swedish Crisp Bread & 4 Cit­rus Marmalade

Coun­try Bread & Home­made Kimchi

Pie Dish & Sour­dough Bread

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!
