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

Thank you for your support at the Saturday Market this season! We have enjoyed spending our weekends with you and look forward to seeing you during the winter months.
As a reminder, our winter market begins on Saturday, December 3 from 10 am-noon.
With Thanksgiving around the corner, it's the perfect time to reflect and share our gratitude for the important things in our lives. At the Market, we are grateful for our wonderful customers like
YOU and for our incredible vendors. We are also thankful for the bountiful produce, meat, cheese, and more that nourishes our bodies and souls. Below are some of our favorite memories from the Market this season.
Seriously, who doesn't love the tastes of spring? It's easy to do your grocery shopping at the Market & enjoy all the flavors of the season!
Beautiful spring mornings greeted us in May as shoppers enjoyed seasonal favorites, such as asparagus and strawberries.
Yup, we had some tasty days at the Market in June with
cucumbers, summer squash, onions & tomatoes galore!
Raise your hand if you want to go back to tomato season
& sample all the delicious varieties at Tomato Day!
Who says you can't play with your food?
Four Leaf Farm
made this creative display for the Fourth of July.
One of the best parts of the summer are the
magnificent sunrises, like this one captured in July.
We celebrated peppers & their delicious flavors
at our Pepper Roast in September.
Thank you to everyone who helped us launch the
Nursery Tent in October. We hope you check out this
quiet space to feed your baby at the Market.
Happy Thanksgiving! Thank you for a wonderful season.
We'll see you in December for the Winter Market!

Terra Clotha
Do you remember that part in Clement Moore's poem, "A Visit from St. Nicholas," when it says "The children were nestled all snug in their beds/While visions of sugar-plums danced in their heads"? Did you ever wonder what kind of clothes those kids had? As a wearable art professional, I think about it all the time. And the conclusion I always come to is this: they were wearing union suit type night clothes, or, as we call them at Terra Clotha, "longzees." Kind of like a onesie, for infants, but with long sleeves, long legs and snaps in the middle.
OK, so they didn't have snaps in the 1820s when that poem was written but the children did have a need for warm, comfortable clothing during those cold winter nights. Something that would cover their arms and their legs, that would be comfortable when they got up on a chilly morning and checked their stockings. To that end, at Terra Clotha, we have a wide range of hand-dyed longzees for children up to age 24 months.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Warm and colorful.
We're now on Facebook! Like our page
and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase.
Would you like a unique piece of hand-dyed clothing for a special someone? We're happy to take special orders. Orders placed by this Saturday, November 19 will be ready by Saturday, December 17. We can do special colors and special sizes. Just let us know what you need!

Maple Spring Gardens
As winter approaches, many of us tend to turn inwards. It is a time of reflection, of nesting, of restoration. When the world feels unstable or unsafe, it is that much more important to have your inner self rooted, rested, and capable of resilience. Whether gearing up to defeat a head-cold or coming together as a community to stand up against intolerance, you can keep your fire burning bright all winter long with our handcrafted Fire Tonic. We'll be bringing bottles of Fire Tonic with us to Market this weekend for you to stock up on.
Apple cider vinegar infused with roots, herbs, spices, and sweetened with honey to help warm the body, fight colds and flus, and aid digestion. Keep the body vibrant and ablaze during the frigid months!
We will also have turmeric, radishes, cilantro, burdock, lettuce, salad mix, broccoli, sweet potatoes, green peppers, seminole squash, ginger, cabbage, and carrots. We look forward to seeing you
this Saturday!

Green
 1 Pound of Coffee = 1 Tree Planted
Oh how things have changed since the summer! Fall has gotta be coffee's favorite time of the year! Crisp, fall mornings call for warm, milky drinks.
Come out and be one of the first as we debut our homemade pumpkin spice latte! That's right, we're giving Starbucks a run for their money (minus the artificial sweeteners)! We'll of course have other hot coffee drinks available and our freshly roasted beans.
In case you've forgotten, 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.
Can't wait to see you at the Market!

Honeygirl Meadery
 Honeygirl Meadery celebrates nature and the work of honeybees by making meads (honey wines) with seasonal fruits, flowers, herbs and honey. Made in Durham, Honeygirl meads are hand-crafted libations made in small batches with all natural ingredients.
 This week at Market we will be sampling three meads that will pair well with your Thanksgiving meal: Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, an earthy and floral dry-style mead made with NC wildflower honey, organic hibiscus and fresh lemonthyme (the herbal notes of this mead pair well with roasted turkey); Blueberry Mead, a semi-dry mead with just a hint of honey sweetness to balance the tartness of the fresh blueberries (pair this mead with cheeses or charcuterie before the meal); and Spiced Apple Cyser, a semi-sweet mead that tastes like apple pie, made with NC wildflower honey and NC apple cider (perfect with apple pie or dessert).
