Bounty & Barter is a truly-free, post-capitalist, eco-friendly, low-maintenance, pop-up marketplace.  The idea is to create a space to routinely share the bounty of your gardens, the surplus of your bulk shopping, the hidden treasures in your shed, and find new uses for old ‘stuffses.’  We aim to reuse, repurpose, recycle, upcycle, future-cycle, and love-cycle all without the need for pesky pennies (unless you want to bring them as a trade or gift!). 

There are just two rules:
1. no money will be exchanged (barters are at the discretion of the bringers)
2. nothing may be left behind after the market (if you don’t find a taker, you gotta take it home again)

Got yarn, fabric, or leftover craft supplies? Zucchini coming out your ears? What about that box of old magazines you keep meaning to donate?  Here’s a regular opportunity to clear the clutter, share the surplus, extricate the extras — or come to take what you find and fashion it a new function!

While RSVPs aren’t necessary, it is nice to know how many tables we should set up. Bringers can email BountyAndBarter@uugrassvalley.org to let us know you’re bringing items to trade or gift. We’ll communicate and coordinate with Hospitality volunteers and set up space for sharing the ‘stuffses’ accordingly.  Takers are welcome without RSVPs.

We are going to commit to Second Sundays through November.  In December we’ll decide if we’ll keep it going or let it go.

Friends and neighbors are welcome, too! Click here to download a flyer to share.
