June 24, OK the swap is on! 
We will swap homemade or farmer's market jam, jelly, or honey.
Please limit the jar size to 1/2 pints.
Give me your mailing address by e-mailing me through the forum.
I 'll close the sign up on July 24th and post the partners by the end of that Day. The Mail Out deadline August 1st.

I would be happy to organize if any one is interested.
Home made is what I intend, but if there are some fantastic farmer's market finds, that would be cool too.
I also think they shouldn't be larger than a 1/2 pint.
What do you all think darling farm gals?

I received my package from Diana. It has the most delicous strawberry jam, sweet
pickled beets, and sweet pickles. She also sent a couple of vintage cookbooks that I can hardly wait to use. Thank you, Diana! |

Hi Lainey Lou, your jam arrived just as we were leaving for vacation so I grabbed a jar and took it with us. What can I say, but YUMM!! We spent a week at Lake Chelan, WA with 3 other families and there were 22 kids in tow. Needless to say, the jam literally disappeared and it was delicious!!!!
I am not quite sure where your jams ended up, only that the USPO said they were "undeliverable" - whatever that means! So...I am sending another box to you (via UPS this time...no more post office mailings for me!) with a little surprise made in Washington. I am so sorry about the delay!!! I hope you like it!

Hi Marlee!
Receiving your swap package was such a delightful surprise!! I love the jam you chose to send-can't wait to try it (the whole family keeps buzzing 'round the jar). And thank you so much for the little recipe book-I loved reading about all the local recipes from Louisiana and I can't wait to jump into those too-they all look so delicious! Our family is headed to Six Flags Great America tomorrow and we're picknicking-your lovely napkins are coming with us!
Thanks again for being my swap partner-I loved everything!! Your package is on its way too!
Your Wisconsin FarmGirl friend,

Texdane, Your jams arrived! Thank you for the nice letter. My granddaughter insisted we try the strawberry first...on a spoon....straight from the jar. Yum Thank you. Didn't realize the date was the first of August. My daughter is getting married tomorrow. So will mail yours out Monday.

Tricia, your jams arrived safe and sound! Thank you, they look delicious! I can't decide if i will try the peach or the strawberry peach first. Darling hubby asked if I was going to make some biscuits tonight, I guess I will!
