Based on the Food Swap model, we gather every 3 months or so on a Sunday afternoon to trade what we produce in our own homes. From jams and jellies to deodorant, cosmetics, soaps, candles, bread, fresh eggs, fresh fruits and veggies and flowers, and anything else perishable, edible, and use-up-able. Basically nothing permanent except the jars. Set in lovely little Brisbane, CA (on the south edge of San Francisco, and a world away from urban cares), we are the vanguard of a sustainability/permacu …

We'll try to get some fluent speakers to help out when possible. All levels are welc …
