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 visit: www.nc10percent.com |

Easy Refrigerator Pickles
Ingredients
- 10 cups sliced pickling cucumbers (about 4 pounds)
- 1/2 pound bell peppers (sliced or chopped)

Brine Ingredients
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 2 cups sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons salt

- 1/2 tablespoon dill seed
Directions
- Wash the cucumbers. Slice the cucumbers in about 1/4 inch pieces; discard the stem and blossom ends.

Suman's Indian Catering
I see this as an opportunity to market and expand local sales of my products, as well as to increase brand recognition. I also recognize that there is an unmet niche in the area of semi-prepared Indian (South Asian) cuisine. Regular shoppers at the Durham Farmers' Market actively buy fresh, raw ingredients (vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, etc.), acknowledging their superior quality in the preparation of home meals. I envision that these same shoppers will see my prepared sauces and chutneys as an opportunity to integrate the other fine DFM products to create superior cuisine at home with a minimum of complexity.
Please look for us, as our location changes weekly.
Simplify meals! Add meats, vegetables, seafood, tofu, to these ready-to-use sauces and versatile chutneys!
Tikka Masala Sauce:
A silky butter-cardamom-tomato-cream sauce, perfumed with fenugreek
Punjabi Curry Sauce: A robust ensemble of tomatoes, onions, ginger, garlic and aromatic spices
Kerala Coconut Curry Sauce: An intense amalgam of onions coconut, fresh curry leaves, ginger, garlic and roasted red chillies
Peach-Raisin-Ginger Chutney
Tomato-Raisin-Ginger Chutney
Tamarind Chutney

Chapel Hill Creamery
We hope to have Fresh Mozzarella
tomorrow
! We haven't made it this year and the milk from our small herd is always changing based on what stage of lactation the cows are in and the lushness of the grass. That puts a challenge on the cheese maker to adapt the recipes each week! Our milk is rich and delicious which makes our Mozzarella flavorful. Pair with basil and tomatoes for Caprese salad. Our Dairyland Farmers cheese is a great cheese for the hot weather and for eating with tomatoes. Add to tomato sandwiches, salads, or a quick burrito with summer squash and our chorizo. It is moist and tart.
We'll also have Carolina Moon, Hickory Grove, and a little Pheta. Carolina Moon is creamy like a Camembert. It naturally ripens which means it get softer and develops more flavor as it ages. Hickory Grove Cheese is our own recipe and has a luscious texture at room temperature and is fabulous for melting. Enjoy with crackers, in an omelet, or on a cheeseburger.
Time to grill! Try our spare ribs and sausages. Our pork comes from our whey fed pigs, and sausages are made with the hams for a meaty taste. Choose from Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Chorizo, Polish, Bratwurst, Mild Country Breakfast, and Sage and Maple Breakfast. We also have bacon for your BLTs. Visit our booth and pick up one of our recipes to go with our cheese and meat.

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 are sampling our oak-aged
Wildwood Mead, almost two years in the making. Made with dark NC wildflower honey with strong buckwheat, molasses and sorghum notes, aged on French oak. Deep, rich honey with butterscotch and vanilla notes. Come by for a taste!
Our
Fig Orange Mead, semi-sweet and delightfully nuanced, made with caramelized figs, wildflower honey and orange blossom honey that goes great with a mixed cheese plate or a sweet-salty baked ham, or with dessert.
We will also 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 have bottles available of our Lavender Mead, made with orange blossom honey and local lavender from Sunshine Lavender Farm - one of our favorites for relaxing and porch settin'; and our Orange Blossom Mead, summery and lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey.
