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 have an incredible opportunity to connect with our community every week at the Durham Farmers' Market. There's honestly no better way to kick off your weekend than by chatting with your neighbors, checking in with your farmer, and having your kids run around the Market.
Join us for your healthy dose of community at the Market tomorrow and pick up the beautiful colors of winter produce, some of which can be seen in these photos. We look forward to seeing you and your family soon!
***************
Vendor of the Week:
Scratch Bakery
 Scratch Bakery's owner and chef Phoebe Lawless had been working in kitchens for several years before she started baking when she landed a job as the assistant baker at Durham's Magnolia Grill. The position turned out to be a good fit and she developed an understanding of the craft of complex dessert making. Now she has a brick and mortar bakery, lunch, and brunch spot on Orange Street in downtown Durham and a growing wholesale business to boot.
Phoebe is committed to sourcing ingredients locally and sustainably and she credits Scratch's relationships with farmers and producers in the area to the exceptional quality and uniqueness of their baked goods. She also recognizes the impact sourcing locally has on creating a stable food economy and keeping more money in our community.
Scratch Bakery got their start at the farmers' market and you can still find them there every week slinging all sorts of delicious baked goods, like their famous, portable, child-approved donut muffins. Swing by tomorrow for a fresh baked breakfast and keep an eye out for Scratch's new restaurant,
The Lakewood, opening this spring in Durham's Lakewood neighborhood.

Made in Durham NC, Honeygirl meads are hand-crafted libations made in small batches with all natural ingredients. Come visit our downtown Durham production meadery for a full tasting with souvenir glass - we are open every Saturday from 1-6 pm, no reservations required.
We will be at Market this week with a variety of our meads for sale. Each week we sample a few of the meads at the farmers' market so that you can try the whole line-up over time.
This week we will sample our Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, an earthy and floral dry mead made from NC wildflower honey, hibiscus petals, and fresh lemonthyme; Blueberry Mead, a semi-dry mead with local blueberries and NC wildflower honey; and our Lavender Mead, a semi-sweet mead made from Orange Blossom honey, aged at least nine months and then infused with local lavender. We will also have our Ginger, Vanilla, and Spiced Apple Cyser for sale.
Honeygirl Meadery Gift Cards are available year-round at the Market. Now you don't have to guess which mead to give - your giftee can choose their favorite with a gift card!

Terra Clotha
There's a lot you can put in a bag. Our hand-dyed cotton bags can hold a weekend's worth of groceries. And they can hold other things: Tennis balls. Art supplies. That screenplay you've been working on in your spare time. Cats (but don't let them out). Magic swords. The Complete Works of Fergus McGee (Profusely Annotated for the Modern Reader). Crisp stacks of non-sequential twenty-dollar bills. Various kinds of modestly sized electronic equipment. And when you're finished, these bags fold up into their own little pocket. And then you can put the bag into your pocket.
Hand-dyed bags from Terra Clotha. Colorful. Versatile.
Like our Facebook page and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase!
