Join us for a day celebrating the local harvest &amp; food conversation! What is ESEA Harvest Swap?ESEA Hackney Harvest and Larder Swap is a community harvest and food-sharing event is a community harvest and food-sharing event where people come together to swap things they&rsquo;ve grown, made, cooked, preserved or foraged. If you garden, grow, cook, bake, preserve, forage or simply have something delicious from your kitchen or garden that you&rsquo;d like to share, ESEA Harvest Swap is for you!&nbsp; What should I bring?You can bring anything you canned, jarred, cooked, baked, blended, created, produced, foraged or grew yourself. Here are some examples of things you can bring to swaps: homemade chilli oil, pickled ginger, strawberry jam, fresh Thai basil, backyard eggs, gluten-free pandan cakes, lemongrass tea blends, garlic salt, buckwheat rye bread, pepper relish, rooftop-beehive honeycomb, rice crackers... How much should I bring?&nbsp;Bring anywhere from 5 to 15 items or more! Each registered participant will get a table, and you are allowed to share your table with one friend! All trades are one-for-one barters (my jar of pickled mustard greens for your bundle of Thai basil), so you&rsquo;ll leave with the same number of items as you came with. You can bring multiples of the same item (6 jars of homemade chilli oil), or a number of different items (3 bags of sesame biscuits, 2 jars of pickles, 1 bunch of shiso), For a whole cake and loaf of bread, you could divide them into multiples depending on their size.&nbsp;&mdash;you&rsquo;ll still make the same number of trades. &nbsp; How does it work?&nbsp;When you arrive, you&#39;ll set up your swap items on a table and fill out a swap card for each one. A swap card is a piece of paper that sits next to your item &mdash; on the card, you&rsquo;ll write your name, what your item is, and any information people might want to know (e.g. vegan; extra spicy; contains nuts; keep refrigerated; home-grown).Other swappers will write down their &ldquo;bids&rdquo; on your swap card to let you know they&rsquo;re interested in your item. You&rsquo;ll also make your own bids on other people&rsquo;s swappables.Bids are not binding &mdash; they&rsquo;re simply a way of saying, &ldquo;I&rsquo;m interested in this, and I&rsquo;d be open to swapping with you.&rdquo; How do I make my trades?&nbsp;The actual swapping happens about 30 minutes into the event once everyone finishes setting up their table. We&rsquo;ll all wear name tags, the organisers will make an announcement, and the swapping begins!Consult your swap cards, approach the people you&rsquo;d like to trade with, and make your swaps. Some people beeline straight to the items they&rsquo;ve been eyeing, while others hang back and let other swappers approach them. Everyone has the right to accept or decline swap offers as they come.It can get a little hectic, but it always works out. &nbsp;And you&rsquo;ll go home laden with delicious things grown, made and shared by your new friends and neighbours!Bring on your proudest garden harvest! We look forward to swapping with you!&nbsp;For any enquiries, please contact: Bik Yu bikyu@hackneychinese.org.uk
