Calling the artists, bakers, gardeners, crafters, herbalists, homesteaders, woodworkers, DIYers, hunters, and/or gatherers. On Sunday, October 12th, you are invited to the 15th annual Swap it! Community Trading Event at littleGrasse Foodworks, a community farm in Canton. The farm designed this joyful gathering for people in northern New York (and beyond!) to collectively share their skills, passions, and surplus with others. The only requirement is to bring items (as few or many as you like) that you made or grew and choose to trade with of the fellow participants.
This event has grown over the years, 2024 included 30 households with 80+ people!
DONATIONS ENCOURAGED to support future programming, but there is no entry fee for this event. The swap will be held in our barn aka "foodshed" built in 2022 at 309 Miner Street Road, Canton.
All are welcome to participate in this one-of-a-kind event. Examples of items that past attendees have brought to trade: food and garden products such as baked, canned, fermented, frozen items, fiber, ceramics, woodworking, painting, art, herbal medicine, plant cuttings, root stock, plants, seeds, and much more.
