In honor of the book's exploration of the gift economy, we will be hosting a gift-based swap market centered around sharing homemade, homegrown, handcrafted, and abundant goods with one another.
We invite each attendee to bring something they have made, grown, gathered, or simply have an abundance of and would like to share with the community. Offerings might come from your garden, kitchen, craft table, apothecary, or personal collection.
Some ideas include:
• Homemade syrups, jams, baked goods, or preserves
• Herbal teas, tinctures, oxymels, infused honeys, or other herbal preparations
• Burn bundles, candles, flowers, or seasonal offerings
• Crafts, textiles, prints, pottery, or small artworks
• Seeds, produce, dried herbs, or plant starts
• Favorite books, poems, recipes, or other meaningful treasures
The intention is to participate in an exchange rooted in generosity, creativity, abundance, and community care rather than monetary value. Together, we will create a shared marketplace where everyone both gives and receives. At the end of the gathering, each attendee will leave with a basket of offerings collected from the community.
