Oct 17, 2016 — If your pantry shelves are filled with canned tomato sauce and dilly beans, maybe you’d like to add some pickled beets, carrots or kimchi for the winter months? Little Grasse Foodworks, a CSA in Canton, is sponsoring its sixth annual food, art and more swapping event at the farm. It's Saturday afternoon from 3:00-4:30pm.

Flip Filippi, with Grasse River Foodworks, says the free event is open to anyone wanting to bring items that are homemade, created or grown in the garden. She says this is a broader reinvention of an annual event called the Preserves Swap, that was held in downtown Canton.
