the food that i bought/exchanged from my local farmer for a fair price
And what are you going to pay him with?
Rolexes
if money is not existent at this point, i will, as mentioned in my original comment, exchange it for something else, be it other goods, or my services as a mechanic, electrician, metal worker, or IT-support (yes i know, kind of an outlier)

No complex society has ever been run without money. While that's no proof, that is impossible, I don't care to be part of this particular social experiment.
