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

 While we understand why some folks aren't head-over-heals for Valentine's Day, we believe there is a way you can meaningfully celebrate
February 14
. Shop locally for your V-day goodies and use the day to honor the many different kinds of love - familial love, romantic love, platonic love, self-love...the list goes on and on.
Join us at the Market
on Saturday
and pick up a fun and free Valentine's Day card to give to your someone special.
Fill out your card on the spot if you're feeling inspired! We will have several different silly and sweet cards for you to choose from and all the art supplies you need. While you're at it, consider creating a local home-cooked meal for a loved one with food from the Market or take home a bouquet of fresh-cut flowers and some specialty chocolates.
Choosing to spend your Valentine's Day budget at the Durham Farmers' Market also means you're showing fondness and appreciation for your local farmers and crafters.
We look forward to helping spread the love throughout our community this weekend!

Honeygirl Meadery
This week we will sample our favorite meads for Valentine's Day... the floral Lavender Mead, a semi-sweet mead with the alluring combination of citrus and lavender, made with local lavender and orange blossom honey; Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, an earthy and floral, complex dry mead made from NC wildflower honey, hibiscus petals, and fresh lemonthyme; and our Fig Orange Mead, delightfully nuanced and deep with honey, floral, caramel and fresh fig notes.
 We make meads, which are essentially wines made from honey, to celebrate nature and the work of honeybees. We ferment with seasonal fruits, flowers, herbs and honey.
Made in Durham NC, Honeygirl meads are hand-crafted libations made in small batches with all natural ingredients. Our downtown Tasting Room is open on Saturdays from 1-6pm. See you at the Market!

 1 Pound of Coffee Bought =
1 Tree Planted
Is it too early to celebrate Valentine's Day?? We don't think so! Our drinks will feature a special love-themed treat this week. Come check them out and spread the love!
We'll also have the best drinks available to warm your bones, including Peppermint Lattes and Mochas! We'll of course have other hot coffee drinks available and our freshly roasted beans. Perfect for a cold winter morning!
We are a custom coffee roaster located in downtown Durham. Our goal is to help our customers offset their carbon footprint through their coffee purchases by planting a tree for each pound of coffee we sell. We limit waste from seed to cup by sourcing naturally washed beans, using solar electricity, and composting all materials. We are striving to be a zero-waste coffee roasting company and our coffee beans are certified Fair Trade, Organic, and Rainforest Friendly.
Can't wait to see you there!
