Does Daylight Savings Day get you down? Did you have a bumper crop of potatoes this year, but never got around to making any jam? Are you wishing for more variety in your winter pantry? Then come on down to the 6th Annual Harvest Barter Fair brought to you by the Swap Sisters! It is tons of fun and better than Christmas because you can leave your money at home!
On Sunday November 5th (daylight savings day) we'll be swapping the season's bounty at the Lakeview Union School in Greensboro from 2-4pm. Bring items that you have grown, preserved, baked, or raised to swap with neighbors. In recent years, folks have gotten creative, often orchestrating 3 or even 4 way swaps to ensure folks go home with what they're looking for. Bring items with an estimated value of $5, or $5 increments. For example: a quart of canned tomatoes, a jar of jelly, a bag of tasty baked goods, a large winter squash, a pound of frozen meat, a bag of tea or other herbal product, tubers or house plants. Please label your items with ingredients. Come and participate whether you have a little or a lot to share, and bring a friend. People of all ages are encouraged to participate. This could also be a good place to find homes for items like extra canning jars. Contact us at swapsisters@gmail.com or 755-6336 for more information.
