Making, sharing & celebrating handcrafted food in Portland, Oregon.
PDX Food Swap
Inspired by and formed as a sister chapter to the BK Swappers in Brooklyn, NY and the ATX Swappers in Austin, TX, the PDX Food Swap meets seasonally to exchange homemade, homebrewed, locally harvested/foraged and artfully prepared and preserved foods in Portland, Oregon.
Cooking Up a Story’s mini documentary featuring our inaugural December 2010 PDX Food Swap along with mentions in the Huffington Post, New York Times, magazines, blogs, and other news outlets inspired a wonderful resurgence of age old food swapping traditions around the country and around the world.
Food Swap Network
The founding of the Food Swap Network in 2011 now makes it easy for anyone, anywhere to get involved and spread the food swap love!
