This event is a collaboration between the Meridian Park Neighborhood Association and Backyard Barter. Backyard Barter was formed by volunteers with a desire to build community while helping to encourage neighbors to grow and share food and skills. The Backyard Barter Project is funded through a Small and Simple Matching Grant through the Seattle Department of Neighborhoods and is sponsored and financially supporter by Seattle Tilth.Β Β 

In addition to monthly in-person bartering events, Backyard Barter hosts a Web site www.backyardbarter.org that barterers can use to coordinate and trade with their neighbors all year round. The site allows individuals to describe what they have to share, learn from each other and arrange bartering relationships with their neighbors.
