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

We want to give a special thanks to Tastefully Served for sponsoring this year's Homefries classes!
|
Also,
we're excited to host our first Homefries Kid's Cooking Class of the season with chefs Jeff Crane and Meredith Antunez on Saturday, June 24. Homefries classes are for kids
ages 8-13 who want to learn to cook with local food. Last year kids learned to make kabobs and soup, along with understanding basic cutting and cooking skills. Also, students learned to shop for ingredients at the beginning of class. All classes are free and pre-registration is required. Sign-up
today and we look forward to seeing your kid(s) in class next weekend!
 Finally, we need your help to raise $300 by the end of the weekend 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!

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Plan a Father's Day cook out, a picnic, or a lazy brunch this weekend with our cheeses and meats. Make a cheese plate with a combination of our cheeses or with our Carolina Moon by itself with some hot pepper jelly or jam from our talented food producers.
Carolina Moon is made in the style of a Camembert, but since we are not in France we like to call it by our own name. This cheese is in the bloomy rind family and we make ours in the traditional way so that it softens as it ages, otherwise known as ripening. This is a good example of a slow food where the flavors increase with time. We have soft, ripe ones with mushroomy, umami flavors for this week; if you prefer it less ripe, let us know and we can choose one for you.
Other cheeses will be Dairyland Farmers Cheese, Pheta, and Hickory Grove. The Dairyland Farmers is fresh, moist, and a little tart. The Pheta is saltier since it is aged in a salt brine but it has a tart flavor paired the creamy flavor of our Jersey cows' milk. Add it to salads or sliced cucumbers with a little oil and vinegar. Hickory Grove is our own recipe, so come taste this aged cheese. It has subtle but savory flavors that really shine at room temperature or when it is melted. It's delicious for an omelet or cheeseburger with the Hickory Grove.
It's the season for grilling, and we have some sausage or Spare Ribs to cook. Pork comes from our pigs who drink the liquid whey from cheese making and the sausage is made with the hams for a meaty flavor. We have Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Bratwurst, a little Smoked Andouille, Mexican Chorizo, and Sage and Maple Breakfast links. We also have bacon and ground pork. Pick up a recipe for our tacos with Chorizo and Dairyland Farmers.
Our picture shows Portia setting a fence line for our ox, Fryer who is our 2200 lb. mascot owned by Allison the herd manager at the farm. He's helping us "mow" the back yard. Fryer is part of our Animal Welfare Approved herd and has his own blog which is followed around the world. See more pictures on our Facebook or the blog.
See you at the market!

Terra Clotha
 Our hand-dyed T-shirts are soft, but these 5-ounce jersey cotton skirts are softer. We do them in a variety of bright colors, the effect of seeing all of them hanging on the rack is that of soft, flexible Easter eggs. The skirt's asymmetrical hem gives it a kind of mischievous flare, and the elastic waistband means you can spend a day at the beach, take it out of your bag, and slip it over your suit for a dinner at a nice restaurant. The skirt packs flat, travels easily, and wears like a second skin. Like T-shirts, they are available in small, medium, large, and extra large. Oh, and extra-small.
Hand-dyed skirts from Terra Clotha. Colorful. Comfortable. Versatile.

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 our newest release 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 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
Spiced Apple Cyser, our apple pie mead, made from NC cider and NC wildflower honey, which we like chilled in the summer with grilled foods, and warmed in the winter with hearty stews; and our F
ig Orange Mead, semi-sweet and delightfully nuanced, made with caramelized figs, wildflower honey and orange blossom honey. Try this with a salty, nutty cheese, or with dessert.
We will also have bottles available of our Strawberry Mead, fresh and fragrant, light-bodied and dry, with a soft, lingering strawberry finish; and our Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey.
