HOW DOES IT WORK?
Items are swapped one-for-one, so please keep that in mind when preparing your seed packets and seedlings. If you have planting or care instructions please bring them printed on small pieces of paper to give to your swap partner. Bring as many or as few items as you would like to take home! We encourage you to bring excess backyard produce if you would like to trade that as well.
Swapping takes place through discussion and agreement. Remember, no money is changing hands. All swaps are one-for-one and by barter only!
BE SURE TO:
Label all items individually.
Prepare a list of planting or care instructions, as well as any stories your seeds/seedlings may carry!
Be prepared to bring home anything you brought that did not get swapped.
PLEASE ARRIVE 15 MINUTES EARLY TO SET UP. SWAPPING BEGINS AT 6:00!
All registered participants will receive a 10% discount on items purchased in the shop the day of the swap.
CANCELATION - PLEASE READ DETAILS THOROUGHLY: While this is a free event, we ask that all attendees register as we have limited space available. Tickets are for a mix of seating and standing room, come early for the best chance to get a seat! Please be mindful and let us know if you need to cancel so we can offer your spot to someone else. You can email us at [email protected].

Preserved is a fermentation-focused kitchen shop and classroom in Oakland’s Rockridge neighborhood, right on the College Ave commercial strip. The front of the space functions as a retail store stocked with pantry staples, preserving tools and general cooking gear, so walking in for a class means passing shelves of jars, baking equipment, vinegars and grains. more...
