This community group is dedicated to local homemakers who want to connect, share, and support each other through a monthly Homemakers Swap. Whether you enjoy baking, gardening, crafting, sewing, or making natural products, this group is for you.
Each month, they host a free in-person swap event where members bring five of the same homemade, handmade, or homegrown items. Participants then leave with five unique items from other members. There is no money exchanged—only community, 
The purpose of the group is to build local friendships and support networks, share talents and handmade goods, encourage simple and self-sufficient living, and promote generosity and homemaking skills.
Swaps take place monthly and rotate across Navarro, Ellis, and Hill Counties. There is no specific value limit for the items you bring; just be considerate of yourself and others when selecting what to share.
At the most recent swap on July 26, 2025, items included sourdough starters, plants, soap, cucumbers, chocolate-covered cookies, eggs, banana bread, and crocheted items like bags and bookmarks.
