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

for providing us with these wonderful totes that truly give back to the community! Also,
join us tomorrow to see Rick and Bette Newsome of
DryBread Road
perform. Bring a blanket and enjoy their music on the lawn from 9:30-11 am. Swing by to kick-off your weekend with great music and a tote bag full of your favorite seasonal produce, meat, cheese, baked goods and much more!

We'll have cuts for grilling or slow roasting, burger makin' or pizza topping (caramelized onion, ground lamb and goat cheese, oh my!).
We'll also have all of our wool and wool items available.
Looking forward to seeing you!

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Carolina Moon is back! Ripe and ready to serve for a great appetizer or as a side to a big salad or soup. It is our version of a mold ripened cheese, such as Brie, with a smooth texture and buttery, mushroomy flavor. This cheese softens as it ages unlike many industrial produced versions.
We will also have Dairyland Farmers cheese and Pheta. Our Pheta is aged in a salt brine; add to salads or pizza, or marinate with herbs and olive oil to serve on slices of baguette. The tang of the cheese is balanced by the rich flavor of our Jersey milk. The Dairyland Farmers is fresh and nice for snacking or melting. All our cheeses are made with the milk from our Jersey cows who are grazing on fresh spring grass. Our herd is Animal Welfare Approved.
Pork sausages this week include Maple Sage Breakfast sausage, Country Breakfast, Mild or Hot Italian, Chorizo, and Bratwurst. The pigs on our farm are whey fed and the sausages are made from the hams to give them an extra meaty flavor. Spare ribs are available for grilling or braising in a crock pot. Bring a cooler, come taste our cheese and sausage, and pick up our recipe for Chorizo and Dairyland Farmers Tacos. Bon Appetit.

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 meads made with 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 from 1-5pm.
This week we are sampling three very different spiced meads; come try our
Vanilla Mead, a light bodied, lightly sweet mead best described as creamsicle bliss; our
Ginger Mead, richly complex and semi-sweet, with dark wildflower honey infused with earthy ginger; and our
Spiced Apple Cyser, an apple-pie mead made by fermenting wildflower honey with fresh-pressed NC apple cider, and then adding apple pie spices. Very popular in the Fall and Winter, we also like the Spiced Apple Cyser chilled in the summer, especially with grilled foods.
We will also have available our two (very different) traditional meads: Orange Blossom Mead (light bodied and lightly sweet, made from only orange blossom honey) and Wildwood Mead (dry-style, medium bodied, made from a dark, bold wildflower honey with buckwheat notes and aged on french oak).

Terra Clotha
 I created this design from a story my wife Annamarie told me about growing up in East Tennessee. For a couple of summers during her childhood, the kids of her town participated in a scientific study. They gathered fireflies for scientists who planned to use them in medical research. Each evening, just after twilight, she and her friends would go out with their nets and find as many fireflies as they could, and then transfer them to large canning jars. Once a week, the scientists would meet the children at the school parking lot, weigh the insects they had caught, and pay them accordingly. One month, Annamarie was recognized as the second-best firefly catcher in Anderson County, Tennessee. Her name was in the paper and everything. To recreate the firefly design, I dyed the garment yellow, then dropped warm wax onto it. When it was overdyed blue, and the wax removed, I had a green garment with a bunch of firefly "glows." The jar was silkscreened on some garments, batiked on others. The insects were added by rubberstamping the final product.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Colorful and bright.

Green
 1 Pound of Coffee = 1 Tree Planted
Spring is in the air and it has us itching for iced coffee! Come give our lauded, homemade Iced Vietnamese Shakerato a try!
In addition to our homemade flavored lattes, we will also have brewed coffee and freshly roasted beans available! We'll even have a limited supply of espresso ice cubes - say goodbye to diluted iced coffee!
Green is a custom coffee roaster located in downtown Durham. We procure only the best and most sustainably sourced, single-origin, coffee beans available and each bag is individually roasted allowing for a true, small-batch, coffee experience.
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.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Market!
