Today Forage Oakland turns 1. This weekend promises a grapefruit harvest, lemon harvests, and two very small canning projects.
Stay tuned for quite a bit more on this subject.
(The above image is a poster from the very beginning, when I was quite ambitious and imagined I could really manage a bartering network in San Francisco as well, and also thought I might include vegetables in the exchange. Now, though, Forage Oakland has honed its reach, and is limited to those living in South Berkeley and North Oakland. In addition, Forage Oakland is specifically a fruit and nut exchange. In the near future, and very seasonally, maybe we'll barter edible flowers, too, since there appears to be an interest.)
Cheers,
Asiya

*sigh* I'm in East Oakland. This week I froze 7 gallons of chard, mustards, collards and kale, and shared the rest with a friend.
