Bartering

Of course bartering within the group for hand-cultivated goods is not only acceptable, but encouraged. Some of you are for trading with outside sources, others are opposed. Here is the question - if you were allowed to trade with outside sources, what food or foods do you feel you need to trade for? I will make a ruling next Monday, 1/11.

  2. I think the two most difficult things to be without are salt and cooking fat/oil. But I don't know where I could barter outside the group to get those things.

  3. I agree with Sarah. Salt and oil are necessities in food preparation and it is nearly impossible to barter for them.
    I will offer to buy the more natural forms of these items for the group in exchange for some of the other goods.

  8. I retract my comment about heading up the underground operation to get salt and oil if its outlawed. The few items that I have made with just veggies have not needed salt so I am going to go salt free for the week. Oil will be my cheat item.
