I'm a big believer of bartering.Perhaps some would like to share what goods/services yu do for barter.I'm in a little bit of a position now where i'm producing extra asparagus, garlic, blueberrie, honey and eggs ...I keep and use more than enough,but usaually have a good amount of extra.I recently started bartering eggs, for fresh local fish, i'm happy and so are they.I barter several hrs work a week, for chicken feed, thats enough to feed my flock of 50 laying hens.To get a double benifit from my hens i favor black sex links , because they are large hens,and sex links provide excellent egg production to feed ratio.When they get to be 3yrs old i rotate them out.These bigger, older black hens are in big demand where i live, as soup/stewing chickens and fetch up to 10 bucks a bird.I have some folks i barter with for different things for my older hens,but sell most for money. As the US dollar falls, and commands less international favor, of older days, what ,if any bartering goods are you producing..? It seems the dollar is not going to be worth much, sooner than we know.I try to increase my bartering production constantly, it almost always involves food, fresh and local...I can trade eggs, honey, garlic and asparagus for things i don't produce and need.As the world turns, we sure do still need cash, my electric company refused fresh eggs in payment...lol Would love to know what others are doing out there, if anything concerning bartering and building a local alternative network, with like minded folks...
