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 hope you are looking forward to a happy Easter celebration with your family this weekend.
You can pick up everything you need for your holiday meal at the Market, including pasture-raised meats, eggs, cheese, veggies, strawberries, and much more.
Don't forget to bring the colors of spring to your table with a beautiful bouquet! Our vendors have been working hard this week to produce the best products for you and your family as you celebrate this special holiday so be sure to include a trip to the Market in your Saturday morning activities this weekend.
 While you're here, you can also pick up supplies for planting your backyard garden. Our farmers have a wealth of knowledge and can help you pick the perfect plant starts. Do you need a little extra support?
Well then be sure to check in with the Master Gardeners tomorrow from 8 am-Noon. Between our farmers and the Master Gardeners' team, you'll be more than prepared to create a backyard oasis.
 We also encourage you to visit our friends at Farmer Foodshare's
Donation Station, which is located next to our Info Table.
Whether you're just saying "Hi!" or donating money or produce, the incredible volunteers are excited to get to know you. On Saturday, all donations support
Iglesia Emanuel
and on Wednesday your donations support Reality Ministries. If you
have not already, please introduce yourself to the volunteers and learn more about this awesome program.
Also, you can pick up your buttons for Carolina Farm Stewardship Association's
22nd Annual Farm Tour at the Market. On April 22 and 23, you'll have the chance to visit more than 35 farms in the Triad area, including many vendors from the Durham Farmers' Market. Swing by the Market's Info Table for a brochure or to pick up your button.
 Finally, you know we love social media and that there's nothing better than posting a picture of our favorite veggie on Instagram. However,
did you know that only 6% of Americans eat the recommended 2-3 cups of vegetables per day? The wonderful folks at Tater Tats are trying to change that! They want you to take a photo of you and your favorite veggie on Instagram and use #eatavegetabletoday when you share your veggie selfie. Then visit their website by May 1 and get your free temporary veggie tattoo. C'mon, but what's better than that? We're excited to share our Market veggie selfies and look forward to showing off our temporary tattoos later this spring. We hope you'll join us!

Stoney Mountain Farm
S
pring is definitely in the air as we welcome new lambs and tend to our grazing pastures. Each year we try new grazing grasses for our sheep to give them what they love to eat AND offer the most nutrition. Like pie for me, LOVE it but don't know about nutrition levels!
Our coolers will be full once again with our wonderful lamb, named specifically by Slow Food as a FLAVOR worth saving!
Our popular cuts right now are our leg roasts, bone in or out for cooking inside or out. Our chops are always a hit. Shanks, who can resist them? Plenty of bones for all those broth loving fans. And, last but farm from least our ever popular ground lamb. Ask for my Lamb Pizza recipe...easy and yummy!
We'll also be in the company of our felted sheep for Easter gifts. Yes, we have yarn, pelts, and....of course, our Eco-Friendly Wool Dryer Balls.
See you
Saturday
Mornin'!

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Spring is really here! (We think) and our Dairyland Farmers Cheese is a fresh cheese that showcases our fresh Jersey cows' milk. It is popular with kids of all ages (like Allison here outside the milking parlor) and buying it directly from us is the best way to enjoy it. Our Farmers is moist and a little tart; good for snacking or adding to scrambled eggs, Mexican dishes, or vegetables and pasta. We have recipes you can pick up including one for Dairyland Farmers with a balsamic strawberry sauce for an adult dessert.
We also have Carolina Moon which is similar to a Brie or Camembert, in the category called "mold ripened" cheese. The white mold changes the cheese over time and enhances the flavor and texture. It's a good example of a SLOW FOOD that is richer in flavor than many industrial type Bries which are made to ship across the ocean without getting too ripe and strong. We try to bring it to you when it is half to fully ripened, and we can pick one out for you. Our Pheta is aged in a salt brine - also a traditional method - and is saltier than the Farmers cheese. It's great for salads or for topping pasta or greens.
Sausage comes from our whey fed pigs and is made with the hams for a meaty taste. Choose from sage and maple breakfast; mild country breakfast; chorizo; mild or hot Italian; and bratwurst. Spare ribs for grilling or cooking in the crock pot, as well as ground pork, are also available. Come taste a sample of our Breakfast sausage and our cheeses and pick some up for the weekend.

Terra Clotha
 It's 1941. Mr. Thompson is trying to understand why Charles Foster Kane's last word was "Rosebud," and Mr. Bernstein suggests it might have been some girl Mr. Kane knew years ago. "There were a lot of girls at the beginning," Mr. Bernstein says. "Yes," Mr. Thompson agrees, "but would you remember a girl for more than forty years and say her name on your deathbed?" "A person might remember things you wouldn't think he'd remember," Mr. Bernstein replies. "Me for example. One day, back in '96, I was crossing on a ferry and as we pulled out there was a second ferry pulling in - and on it there was a girl waiting to get off. She was wearing one of those hand-dyed dresses they sell at the Durham Farmers' Market. I only saw her for one second and she didn't see me at all - but I'd say a month hasn't gone by since then that I haven't thought of that girl and that dress." (With apologies to Herman J. Mankiewicz and Orson Welles.)
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Memorable.

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 meads that would pair well with Easter foods; come try our
Vanilla Mead, a light bodied, lightly sweet mead that would pair well with coconut cake; our
Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, dry, earthy and slightly floral, for an accent to a main dish like brisket or roasted butternut squash; and our
Fig Orange Mead, a semi sweet richly complex mead with caramelized fig and honey, great with a mixed cheese plate or a sweet-salty baked ham, or with dessert.
We will also have available two other nice sipping meads, our
Spiced Apple Cyser (popular semi-sweet mead for its apple pie taste, from NC apple cider and NC wildflower honey) and
Wildwood Mead (dry-style, medium bodied, made from a dark, bold wildflower honey with buckwheat notes and aged on french oak).
