Event Details

Since June of 2011, Boston area food lovers have been swapping food monthly, exchanging ideas about food via Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest, raising money for great food and wellness related charities through social events, and even creating a Tumblr about eating well! The community has taken interest too. Since the beginning, the Boston Food Swap has been featured in the Boston Globe, Public Radio Kitchen, Edible Boston, Foodies of New England, and numerous newsletters and blogs.
To celebrate this whirlwind year of delicious foods, community building, and newly learned cooking techniques, we are throwing a party and you are invited! We are going to hang up our (adorable) aprons for a night and enjoy some great local, sustainable, and delicious foods while chatting with expert Swap-Stars about perfecting our cooking skills.
Meet our Swap Stars!

Boston Food Swap
The goal of our monthly swaps is to create outlet for sharing surplus goods and offer an alternative to store-bought items, helping swappers eat locally, sustainably, and affordably. We’re active in the swapping and local food communities, and we’re working to grow the swap through blogging, social media, and partnerships with like-minded organizations.
