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

Veggie Valet at the Market!
 Have you checked out our Veggie Valet service yet? If you have ever struggled with carrying your groceries all the way back to your vehicle when you are done shopping, keeping your kids in tow with armloads of veggies, or simply getting around the Market with your local haul, you're going to love the Veggie Valet. This program is managed by three interns from Partners for Youth Opportunity, an organization that
provides Durham youth with opportunities to connect, develop, and contribute through mentoring, employment and educational support. Say "Hi!" to our interns on Saturday and drop off your bags while you shop and enjoy the Market community.
A message from the Veggie Valet interns:
Veggie Valet is a program that helps customers by holding their groceries while they continue to shop and loading them into their car. The program is free to Durham Farmers' Market customers but we are accepting donations to cover the cost of supplies. The Veggie Valet tent is located on the corner of Foster and Hunt Street right beside the ATM!

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.
Honeygirl is now open for
Fall Fridays
from 4:00-8:00 pm! Join us Friday evenings after work and unwind with a glass of mead and some fun Fall activities. Check out our Facebook page for more details. Coming up at the meadery:
- 9/29 - Durham Wine and Design
- 10/6 - Trivia Night
This week we will be sampling: the newest release of our
Ginger Mead, made from a dark NC wildflower honey, fermented and aged 18 months, then infused with local ginger for a rich, deep ginger mingled with honey sweetness.
We will also be sampling our
Blueberry Mead, made with local blueberries and NC wildflower honey. This mead has subtle plum and tart berry notes, balanced with honey sweetness. Pairs nicely with aromatic cheeses, salami, and dark chocolate.
And we will be sampling our oak-aged
Wildwood Mead, almost two years in the making. Made with dark NC wildflower honey with strong buckwheat, molasses and sorghum notes, aged on French oak. Deep, rich honey with butterscotch and vanilla notes. Come by for a taste!
We will also have bottles available of Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey; and our Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, floral, earthy and herbal dry-style mead with dried hibiscus petals and fresh lemonthyme.

Chapel Hill Creamery
We have fresh and aged cheeses to sell. We'll have Dairyland Farmers, Carolina Moon, and Hickory Grove, plus plenty of meat.
Our Dairyland
Farmers cheese is fresh and moist and melts well. Use it in tacos or Chile Rellanos, pasta dishes, or salads. Serve
our Carolina Moon, which is similar to a Camembert or Brie, with hot pepper jelly or melt on a grilled cheese sandwich with roasted red peppers or mushrooms. To melt the Carolina Moon, trim some of the rind while it is cold, otherwise let the cheese warm to room temperature before serving. The rind is edible and traditionally it is eaten with each bite.
Hickory Grove is a great cheese for the fall. Good with apples, for frittatas, or cheeseburgers. It is a monastery style cheese named for the Hickory Grove Baptist church near our farm. It has a smooth texture, a savory flavor and melts beautifully.
We have many flavors of sausage for
Saturday
. Sausage is made
with the hams for a meaty taste and our pigs are fed the whey from cheese making which is nutritious for them and makes the meat tender. Varieties include Mild and Hot Italian, Bratwurst, Smoked Andouille, Country Breakfast, Sage and Maple Breakfast. We also have bacon, Spare ribs, smoked ham hocks, and our flavorful ground beef which is a customer favorite.
Our Calvander cheese which is inspired by Asiago has been aging many months and will be ready to sell
next Saturday
. We're excited to have it available at the markets, stores, and in featured restaurants. We love seeing and tasting the dishes made by the creative chefs in North Carolina. Keep an eye out for our posters and buttons with our celebratory cows. More info can be found online.
