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

We want to give a special thanks to Tastefully Served for sponsoring this year's Homefries classes!
|
Summer is officially here and we could not be more excited about the changing seasons at the Market!
Right now is a magical time of the year where you can enjoy the flavors of many types of berries, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, squash and so much more.
Be sure to swing by on Saturday to see what's in season and chat with your farmers. Also,
we're excited to host our first Homefries Kid's Cooking Class of the season with chefs Jeff Crane and Meredith Antunez tomorrow! Check out the class on the Market lawn and see what the young chefs are cooking.
 Finally, thank you to everyone who has supported our crowdfunding campaign for the Sprouts Kid's Club. We're still raising money through the end of the month so that we can expand our programming.
We're also very excited to announce that we will host the club every Wednesday from June 28 through August 16!
As a reminder, the Sprouts Club
is a weekly club for children ages 4-12 years old that educates them about healthy eating, environmental stewardship, where their food comes from and much more. Every week, children participate in an activity and sample a fruit and vegetable in the two-bite club. After completing these two activities, each child earns $3 in Sprouts Club Bucks to spend
only
on fruits and vegetables at the Durham Farmers' Market. If we can raise sufficient funding, we will host the Sprouts Kid's Club once per month at the Saturday Market, too. So please help us spread the word about our crowdfunding campaign and we look forward to seeing you and your family at the Market on Wednesday for the kid's club!

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 are sampling our oak-aged
Wildwood Mead, almost two years in the making. Made with dark NC wildflower honey with strong buckwheat, molasses and sorghum notes, aged on French oak. Deep, rich honey with butterscotch and vanilla notes. Come by for a taste!
We will also be sampling our
Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, an earthy, herbal, dry and complex mead with lingering wildflower honey; and our
Ginger Mead, made from a dark NC wildflower honey, fermented and aged 18 months, then infused with local ginger for a rich, deep ginger mingled with honey sweetness.
We will also have available our
Spiced Apple Cyser, an apple pie mead, made from NC cider and NC wildflower honey, which we like chilled in the summer with grilled foods, and warmed in the winter with hearty stews; and our
Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey. See you at the Market!

Terra Clotha
 Our hand-dyed T-shirts are soft, but these 5-ounce jersey cotton skirts are softer. We do them in a variety of bright colors, the effect of seeing all of them hanging on the rack is that of soft, flexible Easter eggs.
The skirt's asymmetrical hem gives it a kind of mischievous flare, and the elastic waistband means you can spend a day at the beach, take it out of your bag, and slip it over your suit for a dinner at a nice restaurant. The skirt packs flat, travels easily, and wears like a second skin. Like T-shirts, they are available in small, medium, large, and extra large. Oh, and extra-small.
Hand-dyed skirts from Terra Clotha. Colorful. Comfortable. Versatile.

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Our photo shows Brian and Katie scooping our Hickory Grove cheese. They work in the cheese room with Judy to make, maintain, and pack our cheeses. We're lucky to have our smart and dedicated employees to help make things run smoothly.
Try a sample of our Pheta when you come to market. It is aged in a salt brine which is the traditional method. It has a tangy bite but also has the rich flavor of our Jersey cows' milk that customers love. It adds some punch to salads with beets or carrots, Tabouli, pasta with shrimp and basil, sliced cucumbers or green beans with mint. A milder, fresh cheese is our Dairyland Farmers. Made each week, it is milk one day and cheese the next. It is moist and tart; use it in salads, on tomato sandwiches, or melted in a taco with our Chorizo sausage.
We'll also have Carolina Moon which is creamy like a Brie. It naturally ripens which means it get softer and develops more flavor as it ages which shows off our rich Jersey cows' milk. This is a great cheese to put out as an appetizer or melt it on bread with sautéed mushrooms or squash for a crostini. Hickory Grove Cheese is our own recipe and has a luscious texture at room temperature and is fabulous for melting. It is an aged cheese with a washed rind and a savory, buttery flavor. Enjoy with crackers or melt it for a grilled cheese sandwich, omelet, or a cheeseburger.
Time to grill! Try our spare ribs and sausages. Our pork comes from our whey fed pigs and sausages are made with the hams for a meaty taste. Choose from Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Chorizo, and Sage and Maple Breakfast. We also have a little bacon, smoked ham hocks, and ground pork. Pick up one of our recipes, taste some samples, and choose some meat or cheese to pair with the great produce at market for your next meal.

Four Leaf Farm
FOUR LEAF FARM is slowly drying out after another downpour that left us with just a little over 4.5 inches. That means digging potatoes with a pitch fork, very muddy potatoes, onions that got too wet, weeds we can't get to but other than that, things are good. The rain is good for lots of crops and we will have okra, fairy eggplant, lots of frying peppers, celery, tomatoes, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers and a healthy supply of pea shoots.
For the gardeners there are still a few herbs, figs and Ken's red hardy kiwi available. A few other plants may beg to come to town along with the succulents so please stop by and see what we have for. See you at the Market!
