Check out Cambridge Food Swap, a group which gathers to share home-made, home-grown or foraged goods with one another.
Swaps allow direct trades to take place between guests – for example, you might exchange a loaf of home-made bread for a jar of jam and half a dozen eggs – but crucially, no money changes hands at all, your currency is your produce.
There is always a huge diversity of goods, with recent o fferings including lavender-infused vodka, marmalades, marshmallows, cookies, bundled fresh herbs, sausages, limoncello, home-made pasta, bags of pecans, pierogies and pies.
You name it, somebody will bring it! It’s not all about swapping though, attendees are encouraged to have a good natter, exchange ideas for recipes, and get help from and o ffer help to others.
To find out when the next events are, keep an eye on the Cambridge Food Swap website.
