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

Swing by the Info Table to pick up a recipe card for this roasted sweet potato salad. Yum!
|
As a seasonal vegetable eater, it's challenging to be innovative when my winter market bounty looks similar week after week. While I crave salad all summer, recently it seems like the last thing I want for lunch is another bed of greens. If you need cooking inspiration, swing by the Market's Info Table and pick up a seasonal recipe card. We'll continue to add new recipes week after week. This week we're featuring a roasted sweet potato and spinach salad. It's simple to make and there are so many possibilities for additions to this meal, such as beans, meat, nuts, and more.
Also, don't forget that this is the prefect time of year for roasted veggies. If you're looking to spice up your meal, pick up some ginger and roast with your Market finds - your tastebuds will thank you! Roasted veggies are the perfect addition to any meat at the Market and add a colorful twist to your dinner.
We hope you continue to find alternative ways to cook your beloved winter staples.
Visit us at the market and tell us what you're whipping up with your seasonal veggies!

Terra Clotha
 We all know that Durham is a fabulous place, a livable artsy town with great food and a vibrant culture. (The Durham Farmers' Market is at the epicenter of all that, of course.) So as a nod to all that wonderful Durham-ness, we have come up with a T-shirt that celebrates the Durham spirit. We've used batik to create a starry night and silkscreened a Durham design underneath. Trendy enough to wear to a Food Truck Rodeo in Central Park, hip enough to wear to a night out at DPAC or to a Bulls game. We've also got Durham-themed kids clothes because you're never too young to be cool.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Allowing your wardrobe to reflect Durham's spirit.

The shearing continues throughout the day. We'll have plenty to do and see. Watch and get your hands immersed in the wool as it comes off the sheep. We'll be skirting, bagging and tagging the fleeces. Each fleece will be available for handspinners, weavers, knitters, crafters or just those with a desire to experience wool for all of it's wonderful properties.
Our new "farm store" will also be opened! From crafting supplies, yarn or roving, wool blankets and other wool products from our sheep. You will be able to see the many ways we use our wool!
We'll also be offering a Beginners Felting class. Sign up fast! - size is limited. The class will include instructions and each participant will take home their very own creation.
We'll break for lunch around noon as we catch our breath before the next round of shearing. There will be lots of catered goodies available for purchase. Register for the event here and

Green
 1 Pound of Coffee Bought =
1 Tree Planted
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.
In addition to our brewed coffee and freshly roasted beans, a selection of homemade flavored lattes
will be available at the Durham Farmers' Market. Looking forward to seeing you there!
