Start locally with small shops, farmers, ranchers, etc. I have friends in Missouri who get eggs and pay for them with cookies. A chiropractor I know does this also (treatment in exchange for handyman work or mechanic or hair salon). If you don't personally know someone, you could post a message on Craigslist. I see many who are willing to exchange their skills/labor/product for equivalent skills/etc. The only problem with an official barter club is bartering is taxable (sales and income).
bartering is an exceptional idea...one that has been aound for a very long time. It's too bad more people aren't so inclined to participate.

does anybody think this can happen here in the states? How would someone go about to make something like this happen?
