Respectful, caring, and conscious behavior make the Faire a safe and healthy environment for children of all ages. The Barter Faire promotes commerce and lifestyles which are friendly to the Earth and her ecosystems which sustain us.

WHAT IS BARTERING? Barter builds community! Bartering is trading things of value between individuals. You can trade your time and skills, (childcare, gardening, plumbing, designing rain water catchments, etc.), craft work, (baskets, beadwork, art, etc.), garden or wild produce, and useful items (seeds, books, toys, wood stoves, tools, etc.). Use your imagination - the possibilities are endless.
Bartering promotes human interaction and interdependence, relying more on each other for our needs.

Gates open at 10 am (Friday, Saturday, Sunday )
Everyone is encouraged to Trade, Barter or Share

THIS IS A ZERO WASTE FAIRE!
ZERO WASTE: Bring your own dishes (dishwashing available on site): Waste Policy: Pack it in - Pack it out.

If you see trash discarded on the land we honor your gift to pick it up, and your contribution to to keeping the land free.

IMPORTANT CONSIERATIONS

SAFTEY: Prevention is the best remedy. Get enough rest, stay warm, fed and hydrated. Watch out for members of your group. Be your brother's and sister's keeper.

MAKING CAMP: We encourage strong Barter Faire neighborhoods. Self-policing works! Coordinate with your neighbors and take responsibility for your area's health and safety. The HMBF is not responsible for your camp. Each one of us must set & keep good standards. If you see someone setting a bad example, help them out gently. Unnecessary overly aggressive behavior will not be tolerated, if a problem is bigger than you can handle, go to Security or the Gate for help.

BOUNDARIES: The Fair boundaries are clearly marked. Do not cross them. Please respect OUR neighbors.

NO FIRES: No Fires in the trade circle or camping areas. We've had very little rain, so please exercise extreme caution. No BBQ's. No fireworks. Fire danger is HIGH.

WATER: Make sure you drink enough. Bring your own water or buy it. THERE WILL BE POTABLE WATER ON SITE.

FIRST AID: is available on site by trained, experienced staff. Can you help with first aid supplies or service? Go to the First Aid Tipi and let them know. Basic first aid supplies are available at the Gate.
