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

As a seasonal veggie eater, it's challenging to be innovative when my winter
market
bounty looks similar week after week. Even though I crave salad all summer, recently the last thing I want for lunch is another bed of cold greens. One of my favorite go-to recipes
was brought to me by a co-worker. Check out this delicious
roasted sweet potato and spinach salad
.
It's simple to make and there are so many possibilities for additions to this meal, such as beans, meat, nuts and more.
Also, don't forget that this is the prefect time of year for
roasted veggies
. These a
re a tasty addition to any meat at the m
arket
and add color to your dinner. It's also really fun to add warm roasted veggies to a bed of greens for a twist on a favorite salad. At the rate time flies, we'll be back to warmer season produce soon and will miss these delicious root veggies. Enjoy them while they're here and get creative in the kitchen with new recipes!
We hope you continue to find alternative ways to cook your beloved winter staples.
Visit us at the
market
and tell us what you're whipping up with your seasonal veggies.

Become a friend of the
Durham Farmers' Market!
 The Durham Farmers' Market has been a community destination in downtown Durham since 1999 thanks to YOU, our loyal customers and supporters. Over the years we have grown the Market and continue to provide Durham with an event that nourishes the soul of our wonderful city.
You may not know that the Market operates primarily off of the weekly stall fees from our farmers and artisans. Despite this modest budget, we are constantly working to make fresh and healthy food accessible to our entire Durham community.
We want to continue expanding the offerings of our Market and need your help to make this happen.
The Friend of Durham Farmers' Market program provides an opportunity for you to invest in the future of the Market by making recurring or one-time contributions via PayPal or check. Examples of how we will use the funds include expanding our children's programming, continuing our outreach efforts to underserved communities in Durham, developing our nutrition education programs, and increasing staff hours. In addition to being part of a community effort to support others, a friend of the Market will receive a button to proudly display on their trusty Market tote.
We know that for some, resources are tight. If donations are not an option and you do not have time to volunteer, you can share what we do or visit us on Facebook or Instagram. If you would like to volunteer, we have several opportunities available including assisting at the Information Table, leading cooking demos, fundraising, and much more.
If you are interested in sharing your time with the Market, please e-mail us.

Chapel Hill Creamery
We are happy to see the sun! For a video of our farm in the snow check out our Facebook or Instagram. Come to market for our fresh and aged cheeses, whey fed pork, and delicious ground beef. Our Hickory Grove pictured here is a washed rind cheese which is also known as a monastery cheese. It's named for the Hickory Grove Missionary Baptist Church which is close to our farm. This cheese is savory, buttery and supple and it melts beautifully like a raclette cheese. Use for grilled cheese sandwiches, omelets, cheeseburgers, or serve with apples. All our cheese comes from our Animal Welfare Approved Jersey cows. Their rich milk adds a depth of flavor to complement the various types we make.
We will also have Dairyland Farmers, Calvander, Pheta, and a little Carolina Moon. Use the Farmers or Pheta with some French lentils cooked with onions and carrots, add Calvander to quiche or potato gratin, and try the Carolina Moon with jam or hot pepper jelly from market.
Whey fed pork comes from the pigs raised on our farm. This is a sustainable way to use the whey that comes from cheese making as ten to fourteen percent of milk makes the aged cheeses and the rest is liquid. It is nutritious for the pigs and we can sell delicious pork at the market. Sausage is made with the hams, not just the trimmings of pork, which adds to the flavor our customers love. Sausages include Sage and Maple Breakfast links, Mild Country Breakfast, Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Bratwurst, Chorizo, Polish, and Smoked Andouille. We also have ground pork, bacon, ham hocks, and spare ribs.
Ground beef is $6.00 per pound and delicious. Pick some up for burgers, spaghetti, or chili.
We have joined the Orange County Living Wage program which sets a wage level for employees at our farm. We are excited to join other businesses in Orange County which participate in this program. Find more information on their website or Facebook page.
See you at market!

Soul Cocina
Soul
Cocina
is a combination of eco-friendly philosophy and cutting-edge, dynamic approach to plant-based cuisine. We draw inspiration from Latin-American traditions and the availability of locally grown produce to create imaginative concepts.
We offer delicious tamales made the artisan way: with love, care and attention to detail. To ensure we respect tradition, we source wholesome ingredients before steaming them in banana leaves, creating a flavorsome and aromatic product. We pride ourselves on taste and quality, and it won't go unnoticed. Every bite you take will give you a taste of the rich Colombian heritage our tamales are built on.
 We will also have soups and pasteles de yuca: delicious roasted yuca pockets filled with red lentils, brown rice and spinach. A handheld food very similar to empanadas, only gluten-free and made with wholesome ingredients!
Take home our ready to eat tamales and pasteles de de yuca or come hungry to the market because we also offer them warm to eat while you shop!
