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

In 2017... finish that sentence in your contribution to our community art project tomorrow at the Market. Now that we have January mostly under our belts and have gained a little perspective on the year ahead, we want our Durham Farmers' Market community to come together in art to share intentions and wishes for the year.
We want to know what hopes and predictions you have for yourself, your family, your community, and the world at large.
We will provide the materials, all you need to bring is a little creativity!
In January 2018 we will display the project at the Market so we can revisit what was written and see if we accomplished our goals and our forecasts came true. Join the fun on the lawn anytime during Market hours on Saturday. We cannot wait to see what you create!

Rest in Peace, David McKnight

The Indy. Please join us in remembering David at the Market as we send our love and support to his family and friends.

 1 Pound of Coffee Bought =
1 Tree Planted
Finally! We're back at Durham Farmer's Market! It's been too long and oh - how we've missed you! Please come out and replenish your supply of sustainable coffee!
The weather should feel more like January and we'll 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!

Chapel Hill Creamery
One day is spring and one day is winter. Either way our sausages are a good item to have on hand for a quick meal. We will have bacon, smoked ham hocks and some spare ribs. The sausages include Mild Country Breakfast, Sage and Maple Breakfast, Bratwurst, Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Chorizo, and Polish. Polish is my new favorite for dinner. It is similar to Bratwurst with mustard and garlic added for an extra punch. Serve with greens, sautéed cabbage or a sub sandwich. Try a sample of the Polish at our booth.
See you at the Market!

Terra Clotha
There's a lot you can put in a bag. Our hand-dyed cotton bags can hold a weekend's worth of groceries. And they can hold other things: Tennis balls. Art supplies. That screenplay you've been working on in your spare time. Cats (but don't let them out). Magic swords. The Complete Works of Fergus McGee (Profusely Annotated for the Modern Reader). Crisp stacks of non-sequential twenty-dollar bills. Various kinds of modestly sized electronic equipment. And when you're finished, these bags fold up into their own little pocket. And then you can put the bag into your pocket.
Hand-dyed bags from Terra Clotha. Colorful. Versatile.
