๐ซ Bean Swap Pop-Up

Heyday Canning Co is opening up a pop-up shop for bean lovers! Itโll be just like a regular store except the only thing for sale will be beans and the only currency accepted will be....also beans! Just bring in any can of beans from your pantry, and they will swap you 1:1 for ANY can of Heyday beans. In addition, they're offering limited edition bean-themed gifts โ like bean hats, bean totes, bean socks, and bean art โ in exchange for your beans.
Editors note: Alright, so this isnโt technically โfreeโ because you need to bring a can of beans from your pantry but I am so excited to go to this!
