Event Details
We are excited to announce that we are a "vendor" at the 2011 Honest Weight Food Coop Harvest Fest. Our booth will be jumping all day long with informative demonstrations, samples with the day ending with a MINI FOOD SWAP!!!!
We will have DIY Food Project Demos all day, along with various samples of recipes from the blog. In addition, Honest Weight has given us the green light to have a mini food swap at 2pm at our booth. We would LOVE it if you (dedicated FSC Swappers) would come so we can swap our hearts out while also showing the "swap curious" what the food swaps are all about!
LOCATION: We will be located right at the beginning of the fair at the "no car" entrance of boathouse area right at New Scotland & Madison Avenues. HWFC tells me we will be right next to their welcome table!
TIME: 2-2:45pm
WHAT TO BRING: This will be a super-speeded up version of our food swaps. Please bring UP TO TWO ITEMS to swap. We might need to use the grass behind our tent, along with one table in the tent to show off our food swappy goodness.

Organizer
From Scratch Club
We are a small group, living within the Capital Region (Albany, Troy, Schenectady, Saratoga Springs) striving for a sustained connection to our kitchens, our gardens and our communities by being advocates for local food, farming & home cooking.
We host two food swaps a month, in Troy & Schenectady (and sometimes Saratoga Springs), where home-cooks swap homemade foods. We also participate in monthly community outreach at various local farmers markets where we demonstrate various cooking techniques & food projects in hopes of advocating home cooking & creating.
We also host a no-pressure food book club on our Facebook page and a monthly Podcast, From Scratch Club Podcast, which features interviews with everyday people making a difference in farming, home cooking, urban farming, farmers markets, policy and food-related media. Find us on Itunes.
Lastly, we run a DIY Food Projects & Cooking School: FSC Academy. The classes offered are a variety of DIY projects from Home Dairy (soft cheeses, yogurt & butter) to bread baking to canning & preserving the harvest. We intend the classes to be affordable, accessible, low-key, fun, small-enrollment demo classes taught by the ladies and friends of FSC in a casual atmosphere, your home or at various sites around the region, including The Arts Center of the Capital Region.
The rest of the month we are on the blog, sharing stories, recipes, DIY projects, homesteading tutorials, kitchen tips & tricks and food policy news in hopes of inspiring people to jump back into the kitchen, their gardens and communities as a daily way of life regardless of income, space & time.
