10% Campaign
|
The 10% Campaign is a project of the Center For Environmental Farming Systems (CEFS). The campaign encourages you to spend 10% of your existing food dollars to support North Carolina food producers, businesses and communities. Why 10%? In North Carolina, we spend $35 billion on food every year. If we spend 10% of our food dollars on local product, we can infuse over $3.5 billion into the local economy. As avid supporters of the Durham Farmers' Market, you already know the many advantages to shopping locally. So, why join the campaign? It will re-affirm your commitment to shopping locally and it sends a strong message to policy makers about the importance of local foods! For more information

 Thank you for helping us raise $310 for the Double Bucks program at our Halloween contest last weekend. We hope you enjoyed our vendor's creative outfits and that your family had a safe and happy holiday. If you or your kids have too much leftover candy, join us at the Market tomorrow for the annual Halloween Candy trade-in event with
Kohl's Bull City Fit.
Your kids can swap extra candy for a Market gift certificate. Each handful of candy is worth $1 and every household can earn up to $8 total.
What's not to love about that? And then you can stock up on nature's candy with the tastiest produce in town!
***************
What's for dinner?
Roasted beets!
 We love beets at the Durham Farmers' Market! These colorful veggies are packed with vitamins and minerals and are just the thing your body needs to detox from tasty Halloween candy and prepare for the upcoming feasts of the holiday season.
Ingredients
- 1 pound of beets
- 6 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 cup walnuts
- 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1.5 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
- Salt and pepper
Directions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Wash beets and trim off the dangling roots.
- Rub beets with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil and sprinkle with pinch of salt. Place in shallow baking pan, cover with foil and roast for 1 hour.
- Allow beets to cool before gently removing the skin and slicing thinly.
- Meanwhile, toss walnuts with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and toast in oven until fragrant, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk vinegar, garlic, mustard, dill and remaining olive oil until thoroughly combined. Salt and pepper to taste.
- Toss roasted beets and walnuts with dressing in a medium bowl and serve.
And, don't forget to eat the beet greens, too!
See you tomorrow!

Veggie Valet at the Market!
 |
|
|
Rent a shopping basket from the
Veggie Valet tent and fill it with your favorite seasonal goodies! |
Have you checked out our Veggie Valet service yet? If you have ever struggled with carrying your groceries all the way back to your vehicle when you are done shopping, keeping your kids in tow with armloads of veggies, or simply getting around the Market with your local haul, you're going to love the Veggie Valet. This program is managed by three interns from Partners for Youth Opportunity, an organization that
provides Durham youth with opportunities to connect, develop, and contribute through mentoring, employment and educational support. Say "Hi!" to our interns on Saturday and drop off your bags while you shop and enjoy the Market community.
A message from the Veggie Valet interns:
Veggie Valet is a program that helps customers by holding their groceries while they continue to shop and loading them into their car. The program is free to Durham Farmers' Market customers but we are accepting donations to cover the cost of supplies. The Veggie Valet tent is located on the corner of Foster and Hunt Street right beside the ATM!

Honeygirl Meadery
Honeygirl Meadery is a small urban meadery in downtown Durham making an ancient craft beverage for modern days. Mead is essentially wine made from honey, with many different styles that include additions of fruits, flowers and herbs.

Our downtown Durham Tasting Room is open on Saturdays from 1-6 pm and Sundays 1-5 pm.
Honeygirl is now open for

Chapel Hill Creamery
 We are excited to welcome Alexander Kast to CHC. He will be our Cheese Room Director, working with Katie and Brian who make, age, and package our cheeses. His experience began with visiting his sister and brother in law who worked at the famous Neal's Yard in London as well as working there. He also worked at shops in New York including Saxelby's and the Bedford Cheese Shop. In North Carolina he managed the cheese department at Southern Season and work more recently at Goat Lady Dairy. He is also active with the American Cheese Society and brings cheese making and marketing expertise to our business. He will be at markets on a rotating schedule so you can meet him soon.
Hickory Grove is our own recipe that is semi firm with a rich, savory flavor. It is a monastery style cheese which means it has washed rind. The cheese is washed during the aging process which adds extra flavor but it is not too strong. Use for snacking with apples, The supple texture makes it a wonderful melting cheese for grilled cheese sandwiches, cheeseburgers, or omelets. Enjoy on a picnic with apples or add to a sandwich. Serve at room temperature whenever possible to enjoy the savory, toasty notes of this cheese.
We will also have Carolina Moon, our version of a Camembert; Calvander, similar to an Asiago; and fresh, unripened Dairyland Farmers Cheese. Serve with soup and hearty bread for a delicious meal.
Try our recipe for soup with our Hot Italian sausage with kale. Sausages from our whey fed pigs includes Mild and Hot Italian, as well as Country Breakfast, Sage and Maple Breakfast, Bratwurst, Polish with garlic, and Chorizo. We also have smoked ham hocks, bacon, and Spare ribs for roasting or grilling. Try our ground beef this week for delicious tacos, stuffed peppers, or cheeseburgers with Hickory Grove cheese.

Terra Clotha
 We all know that Durham is a fabulous place, a livable artsy town with great food, and a vibrant culture. (The Durham Farmers' Market is at the epicenter of all that, of course.) So as a nod to all that wonderful Durham-ness, we have come up with a T-shirt that celebrates the Durham spirit. We've used batik to create a starry night, and silkscreened a Durham design underneath. Trendy enough to wear to a Food Truck Rodeo in Central Park, hip enough to wear to a night out at DPAC or to a Bulls game. We've also got Durham-themed kids clothes. Because you're never too young to be cool.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Allowing your wardrobe to reflect Durham's spirit.
