Join Backyard Barter, a project sponsored by Seattle Tilth and funded through the City of Seattle's Department of Neighborhoods, as we barter homegrown and homemade food with our neighbors! There is only one rule for this event: no cash allowed!
The event will begin with a potluck with the barter to start concurrently. This is a great opportunity to share your homemade food, items and related skills in a fun community environment! Past events have featured such items as delicious canned food, a live duck, microbrews and wine, seedlings and starters, and fresh eggs!
Come join us for a building-wide open house and enjoy food, drink and worthy causes. Over 30 progressive groups will be highlighting their good work. http://www.facebook.com/events/305791172787356/
Bundle up to start your evening with an optional "sleigh ride on wheels" withRide the Ducks of Seattle! Laugh and sing with your wacky captain on this 40 minute, land only adventure, from Westlake Center through the holiday lights of downtown.
