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

But don't worry - you can still pick up everything you need for the perfect meal or those last-minute gifts tomorrow at the Market!
Have family in town? Be sure to bring your out-of-town guests to the Market so they can experience our local Durham community.

If you need to do last-minute meal shopping, be sure to get there early to pick up the best produce, meat, eggs, and cheese in town. Don't forget to get yourself a treat, too - there's plenty of baked goods and chocolate to choose from!
