Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 Thanks for asking, Kimi. For those unaware, the swap is taking place 2 weeks from today, Saturday April 7th, from 11am - 2:30pm. Setup begins at 10:30am. I just realized it's the day before Easter so that may crimp some people's plans... We will have a speaker at 1pm on homeopathy, and then start packing it up at 2:30 and be cleared out by 3. What I need: * Someone to volunteer to order extra milk for the swap. This could double as a potluck contribution if someone is pressed for time and can't make a dish of some kind. PLEASE let me know if this is what you want to do, so we don't end up with 10 gallons of milk from 5 different people. ) * Someones to bring beverages of some kind. Water, coffee, kombucha, or other lactofermented beverages are all fine. * Name tags and markers for writing names. * Potluck dishes of all kinds. Tables, outlets and such are available, so I'm told. I am not sure how much I have left over in terms of tablecloths, cups, napkins and cutlery, so I will have to look. ----> Speaking of which, I think we should all get in the habit of bringing reusable plates and silverware so that we cut down on the amount of waste. I usually do much of the garbage cleanup after one of our events and it's not pretty, the amount we throw away each time! As for cost, there is no admission fee to get into the building, but the cost for us to use the place is $75 (which is being taken care of). The Farm is NOT OFFICIALLY OPEN FOR TOURS, but we can wander around and look. There is a small bookstore in the building we'll be in, that has some literature and publications of interest to trad foods people. It would be helpful and much appreciated if people attending could chip in a few dollars to the donation bucket to offset minor costs like disposable tablecloths, napkins, signs for directions, printing costs of flyers, etc. All that stuff comes out of my own pocket. Please bring money to support the farmers and artisans and vendors who are coming to join us. I am anticipating eggs, chickens, fermented goods, honey, and so on. Clean them out and send them home with nothing but cash! ~Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I¹m not sure if I can make it that day, but I remember last year people saying it might be fun to do a heritage seed exchange for gardens.

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2007 Report Share Posted March 31, 2007 Hi Katy, I am not that proficient with the computer so I do not know how to get all the info to you. Below is some information and a phone number you can call to talk to Joe who usually is the one who does this. I will send you another e-mail that will give you further info. Thanks for you interest.

Gabby > > Thanks everyone in the swap, I was digging through my bag over and over again ooowwwing and aaahhhhing at everything, your all so talented! Thank-you whoever put the paper cutter in the Yankee Swap, it is really cool, I can even buy more blades for it to cut other shapes.I was wanting to buy one for the longest time.I just really felt bad taking it away and giving back my really nice gift of soaps. I sat there thinking " No I don't want to " but I could really use it, so I did it!......I'm sorry. I know it's all in the game but I've never been good at games.Thank-you Shaye for the neat goodie bag and all the door prizes, WOW! > > --------------------------------- > Sick sense of humor?

LOL!!! What fun! It all worked out in the end and Katy & I swapped boxes. And Susie M.....it's probably a good thing you took the cutter as I don't know where I would have stored it in this house!!

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2008 Report Share Posted July 21, 2008 I think I may have missed the threads on the swap. How many participants are there and what type of things are to be included? Many thanks, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
