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 missed you last weekend and hope that you stayed safe and warm with the snow! So how did our farmers' fare? Ask them on Saturday - they love to share their knowledge of how to protect their crops from the cold with you. I know I will savor the delicious flavors at the Market this weekend and think how tough the veggies, flowers and herbs are - how did they survive zero degrees?
Here are some of our favorite photos vendors snapped last weekend in the snow:

Everyone, including pets, were excited to see the sun
after such a snowy Saturday at South Wind Produce. |
The goats at Elodie Farms were a little skeptical of the
snow at first but enjoyed exploring the winter wonderland!
See you tomorrow!

Bluebird Meadows
 Well that was a whirlwind of a couple weeks folks! We got 8" of snow, went to zero degrees, and had to do such crazy things like put a heater in our cooler. Glad to have that behind us! Plenty of veggies and flowers survived though, so we will be at market with a tableful of them. For fresh flowers we will have anemones and icelandic poppies, and for vegetables we will have turnips, spinach, radishes, chard, curly kale and carrots if we can get to them.

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. Okay, 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.
