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

 Tomorrow is National Honey Bee Day and we cannot wait to celebrate with you at the Market! Bees make everything possible for us and, without them, we would not have access to the tasty, nutritious foods our bodies need. Celebrate these incredible creatures by visiting the Veggie Valet tent on the Market Lawn. There, you can pick up a small pot and seeds to grow your own wildflower pollinator plants. Also, be sure to chat with your favorite farmers about bees and the role they play on their farms!
Are you enjoying an awesome August of local food? Come have a relaxing morning with friends at the farmers' market and pick up everything you need to make a tasty meal with your family before the kiddos head back to school in a few short weeks. Also, be sure to check out what
chef Jeff Crane is
cooking with the Homefries kids on the Market lawn. And don't forget that the Master Gardeners will be joining us tomorrow. I
f you have questions or need tips about plants, be sure to chat with the experts.
Finally, we're excited to continue our guest vendor program again this week with Salty Catch Seafood! As a reminder, every week a guest vendor attends the Market, we'll include a small entry in the newsletter. Their schedule will change week to week so be sure to check the newsletter for the latest on guest vendor attendance. If they're not in the newsletter, they will not be attending the Market that week.
See you tomorrow!

Veggie Valet at the Market!
 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 meads are hand-crafted libations made in small batches, using both local and global true source honey, local fruits, herbs and flowers. They are naturally gluten free. Our downtown Durham Tasting Room is open on Saturdays from 1-6 pm and Sundays 1-5 pm.
This week we will be sampling: the latest release of our
Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, floral, earthy and herbal dry-style mead with NC wildflower honey, dried hibiscus petals and fresh lemonthyme.
We will also be sampling our
Blueberry Mead, made with local blueberries and NC wildflower honey. This mead has subtle plum and tart berry notes, balanced with honey sweetness. Pairs nicely with aromatic cheeses, salami, and dark chocolate.
And we will be sampling our
Lavender Mead, one of our favorites for relaxing and porch settin'. This mead is made with orange blossom honey and local lavender from Sunshine Lavender Farm. It is floral, earthy and a bit savory, lightly sweet, making it perfect with a cheese plate, light summer salads, or with dark chocolate cake. Come by for a taste!
We will also have bottles available of our
Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey; and our oak-aged
Wildwood Mead, made with dark NC wildflower honey and aged on French oak for almost two years.

Terra Clotha
 This Monday, August 21, a total solar eclipse will sweep across the United States. While we will only experience about 92 percent of totality here in Durham, some parts of our state will see the sun entirely obscured. It will be sweet. I've gotten onto the eclipse bandwagon and created some yellow/orange T-shirts with an eclipse design. Supplies, as they say, will be limited, and I'll be selling them at the Market on Saturday. If you'd like to reserve one, send me an e-mail. I'll have men's and women's shirts and a limited number for children. Additionally, I have a limited number of eclipse glasses. For those who ask, I will give away one pair with purchase of an adult garment, but if I have any left over, I'll give them away, one per customer, this Saturday morning, starting about 11:45.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Out of this world.
