About

EBCA Homemade Food Swap is a place for home cooks, bakers, caners, picklers, jamers, growers, and general "put up-ers" to get together and swap their speciality homemade food items with others in a silent auction style village marketplace. Your homemade creations (breads, jams, pickles, canned goods, backyard produce/eggs, home brews, etc.) become your own personal currency for use in swapping with other participants.

What better way to diversify your pantry and rub shoulders with friend and neighbors?

Our free events are held seasonally at different locations in the East Bay centering around Oakland & Berkeley. Events are held in the following months: January, April, July, October.

If you have any questions please feel free to shoot me an email: kendra.poma [at] gmail [dot] com

*EBCA Homemade Food Swaps are a part of a series of free community swap events put on by Girl on Bike. You can find out more at the Girl on Bike blog: http://girlonbikewrites.blogspot.com/
