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

This beautiful photo from Ever Laughter Farm was one of our favorites this year.
Don't forget to love your body
and feed it healthy food in 2017!

Well, we've made it to the end of 2016. While this year presented its own set of challenges for many of us, it's also provided us with many cherished memories. We hope you take time over the upcoming days to reflect on 2016 and prepare for a memorable 2017. As always, we thank you for your support this year at the Durham Farmers' Market and appreciate you sharing your Saturday mornings and Wednesday afternoons with us every week. Our community would not be as strong without you and we look forward to seeing you at the Market in 2017.
From all of us at the Durham Farmers' Market, we wish you and your family a very happy and healthy new year!

Ever wonder why we eat collards and black-eyed peas for
good luck on New Year's Day? Most people will tell you they
eat cabbage or collard greens to ensure prosperity.

Looking forward to seeing you at the last Market of the year!

Growers & Cooks
We will be at the Market on Saturday!
Turns out there are lots of lucky foods to eat on New Year's Day that involve stock and we want to make sure you're prepared.
Want to make a little extra coin in 2017? Eat black eyed peas or lentils cooked in chicken stock. Want more of the green? Cook some greens in ham hock stock - the pork and greens represent prosperity. Making healthy resolutions and want food for long life? Eat soba, but Japanese tradition requires you to eat these buckwheat noodles without breaking (or chewing) them. Slurp some with our sweet potato dashi and get ready for a year to be and feel your best.
This week we have:
All-Purpose Chicken
All-Purpose Vegetable
Smoky Ham Hock
Caramelized Grassfed Beef
