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 a magical time of year at the farmers' market where spring favorites intersect the beginning of summer produce. It's as if the offerings exploded overnight and our farmers are very excited to share their hard work with you! Swing by the Market to pick up your favorite spring fruits and veggies before they're gone and tantalize your tastebuds with the new flavors of summer. Also,
please join us on our Market Tour tomorrow from 9:30-10 am. We'll start on the lawn and walk through the Market together, learning about our history, farming, vendors, and much more. We hope to see you there!
 Finally, we need YOUR help to reach our goal for the week of $500 raised 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
 We have fresh (unaged) cheese and aged cheese this week. Dairyland
Farmers which moist, unaged, and a little tart. We make it one day, salt it the second day, and it's ready to eat. Pick up our recipe for Market Salad which uses the carrots and red cabbage that are available now or add it to tacos with our Chorizo. Our Hickory Grove is aged about 7 weeks and is semi firm. It is our own recipe with a rich flavor for snacking or melting. Like most aged cheeses, you can taste more nuance and flavor when it is at room temperature. Use in a pickle and mustard sandwich, a grilled cheese sandwich, or an omelette. Carolina Moon is similar to a Brie and is made in the traditional style so that it softens over time. This ripening process enhances richer, mushroomy flavors. Our Pheta is another versatile cheese for salads, pizza or any dish with tomatoes, cooked or raw. It is a little sharp with undertones of our rich Jersey milk. Add it mixed greens, tabouili, or pasta salads.
We have bacon! Need I say more? It is smoked with no nitrates so pick some up while it lasts. We have many varieties of sausage back in to choose from
plus spare ribs, so it's time to pull out those grills! We have Bratwurst, Mild Italian, Chorizo, Smoked Andouille, Smoked Polish, Maple Sage Breakfast links, and Mild Country Breakfast plus ground pork. Our sausages are especially good since they come from our whey fed pigs and we use the hams, which give a great meaty flavor. We chose the spices that we think you will like. There is a little of our popular ground beef left for sale.
Come buy some fabulous produce, pick up one of our recipes plus some cheese and meat, and enjoy the weekend.

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
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.
 We will also be sampling our
Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey; and
Spiced Apple Cyser, our apple pie mead, made from NC cider and NC wildflower honey. We love it chilled in the summer and warmed in the winter - it's refreshing with crisp apple notes when chilled, perfect for a summer barbeque.
We will also have bottles available of our Wildwood Mead, an oak-aged traditional off-dry mead made from NC wildflower honey with notes of buckwheat, caramel and molasses; and Vanilla Mead, a vanilla-infused version of Orange Blossom mead that plays with the creamy-citrus combination of a creamsicle.

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.

For the gardeners we will have a limited selection of herbs and perennials. This has been a very busy week with preparations for the Farm to Fork Dinner on Saturday and the F2F Picnic on Sunday. If you have not gotten a ticket yet, there is still time to get one for the Picnic. I believe the Saturday dinner has been sold out. This event is a fundraiser for The Breeze Incubator Farm in Orange County that helps young farmers get started.
