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

 It's nice to see the sunshine after such a rainy start to the week. If you have not already,
swing by the Market to pick up your plants and ask your farmers for growing tips. This weekend will be the perfect time to get your hands dirty and appreciate the beauty of Mother Earth! While you're at the Market, stop by the lawn
and
chat with Girl Scout Troop 1621 about the importance of trees in our world.
Don't forget that we've partnered with Durham Central Park and
Food FWD to offer a
compost drop-off service at the Market.
The cost for subscribers is $15/month and a collection bin and liners are provided. Subscribers will bring their food scraps to the Market or to Durham Central Park each week and drop everything off at the designated cart, which will be located near the dumpster on Roney Street. Food FWD
will do a compost giveaway semi-annually and will be at the Market this weekend to answer questions and register folks for the program. If you prefer to have your own compost pile at home, Food FWD will be selling buckets for purchase.
We hope you'll participate!

Terra Clotha
 We all know that Durham is a fabulous place, a livable artsy town with great food, and a vibrant culture. (The Durham Farmers' Market is at the epicenter of all that, of course.) So as a nod to all that wonderful Durham-ness, we have come up with a T-shirt that celebrates the Durham spirit. We've used batik to create a starry night, and silkscreened a Durham design underneath. Trendy enough to wear to a Food Truck Rodeo in Central Park, hip enough to wear to a night out at DPAC or to a Bulls game. We've also got Durham-themed kids clothes. Because you're never too young to be cool.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Allowing your wardrobe to reflect Durham's spirit.
Like our Facebook page
and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase.

Stoney Mountain Farm
Sorry to have missed you last weekend as we took part in the annual Piedmont Farm Tour.
This week we'll again have our coolers full with more of our yummy lamb cuts. Our breed of sheep, "Navajo Churro" ( a heritage breed) was named by SlowFood as "a flavor worth saving". We'll have cuts for grilling or slow roasting, burger makin' or pizza topping (carmelized onion, ground lamb and goat cheese, oh my!).
We'll also have all of our wool and wool items available.
Look forward to seeing you at the Market!

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Our picture is Allison, our herd manager and her ox Fryer, getting out of the rain this past week. Our cows are Animal Welfare Approved. They are part of our team and Fryer is Allison's 2300 lb. pet. We will have ripe Carolina Moon as well as Dairyland Farmers and Pheta
on Saturday
. The Carolina Moon is similar to a Brie in the category call mold ripened cheese. The white mold changes the structure of the cheese and enhances the flavor and softness over time. It's a good example of slow food that is richer in flavor than many industrial type Bries made to ship across the ocean and not over ripen and get too strong. We try to bring it to you when it is half to fully ripe and we can pick one out for you. Serve it as an appetizer or as a side dishes to sautéed greens and mushrooms for the market.
Our Dairyland Farmers cheese is a fresh cheese popular with kids of all ages. Good for snacking or adding to Mexican dishes or scrambled eggs. Our Pheta is aged in a salt brine- also a traditional method- and is saltier than the farmers. It still has the rich flavor of our wonderful Jersey cow milk and is great for salads, Tabouli, or pasta dishes.
Sausage comes from our whey fed pigs and is made with the hams for a meaty taste. Choose from Sage and Maple Breakfast, Mild Country Breakfast, and Chorizo. We also have ground Pork and Spare Ribs. Pick up one of our recipes, taste some cheese, and plan your weekend meal.

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 meads made with 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 from 1-5pm.
This week we are sampling three of our classics. Come try our
Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, floral and earthy, dry style, made from NC wildflower honey, dried hibiscus petals and fresh lemonthyme; our
Orange Blossom Mead, a semi-sweet yet light bodied traditional mead, made with orange blossom honey and aged at least a year; and our
Spiced Apple Cyser, a semi-sweet 'apple pie' mead made from NC apple cider and NC wildflower honey, not overly sweet, with some tart grannysmith apple notes to balance the flavors. This one is nice chilled and served with grilled foods.
We will also have bottles available of our Vanilla Mead (light-bodied, lightly sweet mead made from orange blossom honey, infused with vanilla beans) and Wildwood Mead (off-dry traditional mead featuring bold, dark wildflower honey with buckwheat, sorghum notes, mellowed over French oak).
