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

With summer right around the corner, there's something exciting happening at the Market
every weekend. Be sure to check out our upcoming events
online or in the newsletter.
Also, join Erin Urquhart tomorrow for a home pickling demo on the Market Lawn from 10-11 am. We'll be hosting a home pickling competition in late July so be sure to learn tips this weekend so you can win a prize at that event. Erin will teach you how to make classic fridge pickles and picante pickled carrots. Check out Erin's
blog
and
social media
and get excited to refine your pickling skills this weekend!
 Finally, we need YOUR help to reach our goal for the week of $500 raised for the Sprouts Kid's Club! 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.
Please visit our crowdfunding page
for more information and help us get the word out by e-mailing friends and family, sharing the link on social media, and posting on your neighborhood listservs.
We cannot host the Sprouts Club at the Market without your help and appreciate your support in advance! THANK YOU!

Make patties for the grill from BEEF, LAMB, or Goat (Chevon).
We also have Baby Back Loin Ribs for the grill, assortment of Roasts, and SAUSAGES (you must try our Lamb Brats!).
Other cuts include: Brisket, Shanks, Short Ribs, calves liver, organ meats, DOG Bones, Marrow Bones, Leg of Lamb/Goat, Lamb or Goat Stew, Riblets, Bags of Soup Bones.
We have wonderful PORK sausages... Italian, Chorizo, Brats, HOT Country, and County X sage... from our happy pastured Berkshire X pigs. Smoked ham slices are great on the grill along with slabs of St. Louis style slabs of pork ribs!
Our USDA certified organic veggies this week include:

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Try a sample of our Pheta when you come to market
this Saturday
. It is aged in a salt brine which is the traditional method and is saltier than our Dairyland Farmers cheese. It has the rich flavor of our milk and goes well in salads, pasta, or Tabouli. It adds some punch to these milder dishes. 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. Use it for a grilled cheese, omelet, or a cheeseburger with our ground beef.
We'll also have Carolina Moon which is creamy like a Brie; it naturally ripens which means it get softer as it ages and it shows off our rich Jersey cows' milk. This is a great cheese to put out as an appetizer by itself or with a chutney or hot pepper jelly. Dairyland Farmers Cheese is a fresh, slightly tart cheese, popular with kids of all ages. It's good for snacking or for our Market Salad recipe as well as topping tacos.
We have Bacon available plus spare ribs, ground pork, and sausages. Pork comes from our whey fed pigs and sausages are made with the hams for a meaty taste. Choose from Bratwurst, Mild Italian, Smoked Polish, Andouille, Sage and Maple Breakfast, and Mild Country Breakfast. Come pick up one of our recipes, taste some samples, and choose some meat or cheese to go with all the great produce at the market.

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 will be releasing a new batch of
Lavender Mead, one of our favorites for relaxing and porch settin'. This mead is made with orange blossom honey and local lavender from Sunshine Lavender Farm. It is floral, earthy and a bit savory, lightly sweet, making it perfect with a cheese plate, light summer salads, or with dark chocolate cake. Come by for a taste!
We will also be sampling our
Strawberry Mead, made with local strawberries from McAdams Farm fermented with NC wildflower honey. This mead is like the strawberry season captured in a bottle, fresh and fragrant, light-bodied and dry, with a soft, lingering strawberry finish. Try it with champagne for a brunch mimosa.
Or sample our
Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey. It is ready for summer cocktails, as featured in this month's Durham Magazine, with a cocktail by Daniel Sartain at Bar Virgile. Daniel created a riff on a French 75, called a Local 75, using our Orange Blossom Mead and Durham Distillery's Conniption Navy Strength Gin. The June 2017 issue is out on newsstands, and also online.
We will also have bottles available of our Spiced Apple Cyser, our apple pie mead, made from NC cider and NC wildflower honey; and our Fig Orange Mead, semi-sweet and delightfully nuanced, made with caramelized figs, wildflower honey and orange blossom honey.

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.
