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

The steady April showers over the last couple days indicate May is near with summer not too far behind. Luckily, it looks like we are in for some beautiful farmers' market weather tomorrow. Now is the time to enjoy springtime produce while it is still available. Strawberries, asparagus, and broccoli won't be around forever, folks! Pick up a pint or two of strawberries along with your favorite groceries tomorrow at market, and try this recipe from our Pinterest Page for 5 Ingredient Strawberry Salsa.
We are also excited to have new merchandise available for sale at the info table! Temporary veggie tattoos, gardening hats, bandanas, tank tops, and a restock of the classic DFM tee shirts are now available so you can represent the market community wherever you go.
See you tomorrow!

Hurtgen Meadows Farm
ENOUGH RAIN!
The rain gauge at Hurtgen Meadows Farm overflowed last night, which means we totaled over six inches in the past two days (and it's still raining). Mother Nature has such a sense of humor. To brighten up the day, we are picturing our peonies. These mid-May bloomers are way ahead of schedule. Stop by and take some home to enjoy!
TOMATO PLANTS and MORE!
We sold many starter plants last weekend and we will continue to have more available for your gardens this week. We will have a variety of over 25 exceptional tomato plants (cherry, salad, and slicers in all colors - reds, pinks, chocolate, yellow and everything in between, both reliable hybrid and heirloom favorites), herbs, blackberries, peppers (red, green, orange, yellow - both sweet and hot), vine crops (zucchini, cucumber, butternut and delicata squash) and flower plants for your garden. Come early for your favorites.
STRAWBERRIES
We will be bringing a limited supply of our PESTICIDE-FREE strawberries.
PRODUCE
We will have chard and spring garlic.
FROM OUR KITCHEN
Jams and Jellies! We have our award-winning strawberry jam and blackberry jelly. Also available are apple, peach and peach mango and onion jam.
All of Hurtgen Meadows produce, plants, fruits and flowers are naturally grown using sustainable practices - no synthetic pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers are ever used on our farm. We'll see you at the market!
