One of the true pleasures of producing our own, high quality, healthy food is that we can trade it with other artisans, gardeners, and foodies! Pictured here is lovely, hand tapped maple syrup from Nicoletta's third grade teacher. She bartered syrup for several dozen eggs last week (I think we got the better end of the deal!)I absolutely love sharing in the bounty of others and am always privaleged when they ask for a trade. It seems like such a time honored way to connect with others in the community, make new friends, and fan a new passion. Last year I swapped eggs and herbs for Red Bee Balm, Anna Bell hydrangeas, and Black-Eyed Susans -- what a great way to gradually build our perrenial gardens! Can't wait to see what our chevre, goat soap, and honey will bring this year!
