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

Happy Fourth of July weekend! Make the Market your one-stop-shop for all of your holidays needs. We've got your favorites, including melons, sweet corn, potatoes, many varieties of meat and much, much more. We're excited to kick-off the weekend with you and will see you at Durham Central Park tomorrow!
Also, all young chefs are welcome to join
C'est si Bon's teen cooks for a demonstration tomorrow from 10-11 am. The teens are part of the Taste the Adventure in NC cooking class and are eager to share their delicious melon, cucumber and blackberry salad with you.
Check out the recipe below and be sure to swing by the Market lawn to participate in the demo and taste a sample!
***************
Melon, Cucumber & Blackberry Salad
with Balsamic Reduction
 The combination of the sweet ripe melon, cucumbers, and berries and fresh herbs is a simple way to celebrate this summer feast.
Serves 6-8
Ingredients:
- 1 large Carolina melon, peeled and sliced
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced
- 1 pint or 2 cups fresh blackberries
- ½ cup each fresh basil and mint
- 1 recipe balsamic reduction
Balsamic Reduction Ingredients:
- 1 pint balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 bay leaf
- Fresh thyme, several small sprigs with lots of needles
Balsamic Reduction Directions:
- Make this early in the day you need it. Pour the balsamic vinegar into a heavy bottomed saucepan and place over moderate heat. Stir in the honey, drop in the bay leaves and fresh thyme. Bring to a low boil.
- Adjust the heat to maintain a steady simmer and allow the vinegar to reduce slowly. After 30 minutes or so, when it has lost more than half of its original volume, the vinegar will start to appear syrupy - watch it closely.
- Reduce to 1/3 of its original volume. It should be the consistency of the honey - thick but still spreadable.
- Pour the syrup through a small strainer into a heatproof bowl or measuring cup. Discard the bay leaves and seasonings.
- Store in the refrigerator in a sealed container. It will congeal but keep indefinitely. To use, spoon the hard sauce into a bowl or heatproof measuring cup and heat it slowly in a pan of hot water or at low level in the microwave. For a thinner consistency, stir in drops of hot water.
Salad Directions:
- Two hours before serving, combine the blackberries, basil and mint in a pretty serving bowl. Mix gently, then set aside.
- Arrange melon and cucumber slices on a platter. Pour over the mixture of berries, herbs and balsamic reduction.

See you tomorrow!

with a 1" thick, dry-aged ANGUS Ribeye on the grill. The Sirloin's are wonderful also. We have other steaks such as: New York Strips, Filet Mignon, London Broil, Flat Iron, and Denver steaks (chuck filets). Make patties for the grill...BEEF, LAMB, or Goat (Chevon). We also have Baby Back Loin Ribs for the grill, assortment of Roasts, and SAUSAGES (Beef and Pork Brats and Chorizo). How about our all beef HOT DOGS - perfect for grilling!
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 for making your own broth.
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: Lots of baby SQUASH, GREEN beans, cucumbers, lots of tender OKRA, and Sungold Tomatoes. We may have a limited supply of our organic sweet corn. Mario's bouquets of colorful ZINNAS and Marigolds are the last item made
on Friday

We look forward to seeing you
this Saturday

Chapel Hill Creamery
July Fourth is coming already! We have cheese, sausage, and spare ribs for grilling. 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 any salad or pasta dish. Toss with watermelon cubes, Tabouli, or green beans. Our tangy, fresh Dairyland Farmers is made each week; it's milk one day and cheese the next. It's especially good with tomatoes; use it in a sandwich, a salad of cubed tomatoes and basil, or in a taco with fresh salsa. Made each week, it is milk one day and cheese the next, so it's moist and refreshing.
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. Use as an appetizer or serve it with crusty bread to pair with a salad or cooked vegetables for a quick meal. Hickory Grove Cheese is our own recipe and has a luscious texture at room temperature and is fabulous for melting. Enjoy with crackers, in an omelet, or on a cheeseburger.
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 hope to pick up more sausage before
Saturday
and will have even more to choose from. We'll also have spare ribs, ground pork, and a little ground beef. Pick up one of our recipes, taste some samples, and have a great weekend and July Fourth.

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 sampling three meads that are great for mead cocktails: 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.
Our
Orange Blossom Mead is a summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey. It is featured in this month's Durham Magazine, in 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 be sampling our
Lavender Mead, made with orange blossom honey and local lavender from Sunshine Lavender Farm. You can make an easy summer cocktail by mixing the Lavender Mead with lemonade, and adding sprigs of lavender or rosemary and lemon slices for garnish. It is also lovely with a cheese plate, light summer salads, or with dark chocolate cake. Come by for a taste!
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.
