Friends, we are sold out for the February Food Swap! If you didn’t reserve your spot in time, don’t worry - just add your name to the waitlist.

Thanks to everyone who signed up! Can’t wait to see you there.

Happy 2013 DC Food Swappers! We’re looking forward to seeing what you’ve been conjuring up in your kitchens, backyards and community since the last time we were together. Join us for the next swap on Sunday, February 10th from 2-4 pm in Adams Morgan by reserving your ticket here.

Please remember, kindly reserve only one ticket per person so as many swappers as possible may participate. Also, only those who plan to contribute swappable items to the event may attend. Hope to see you there!

heya swappers! we sold out of tickets for the november swap in the first six hours yesterday, and we are just floored by your support. if you didn’t sign up in time, email us at dcfoodswap@gmail.com to be added to the waiting list. if and when cancellations occur, we will let you know if a spot is available.

join us for our pre-thanksgiving food swap on sunday, november 11, where dc’s food community will share autumn-inspired treats. reserve your space now!

we received several recommendations from our swappers after the last event, and we’ve heard you loud and clear. here are a few things we’ve changed since our last food swap:

• we are now offering 45 tickets to increase the amount of treats and treasures for you to choose from! 
• to cover operating and space rental costs, we will be collecting $5 per person in cash at the door. 
• please bring canned and dried foods (homemade or purchased) to donate to a local food bank so everyone can have a happy, healthy holiday.

spread the word, and see you there!

thank you to everyone who attended our first food swap in dc, and to “above the bike shop” in adams morgan who graciously hosted our food swap!

our swappers brought the most creative, fresh, salty, flaky, and sweet delectables we’ve ever tasted. some of the (many) highlights included garlic braids, empanadas, fresh bunches of herbs, apricot yogurt, sour cherry jam, local honey, Russian pickled cabbage, vegan brownies and pancake mix, home-cured bacon, zucchini muffins, and even a “marshmallow herb garden”!
