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

Terra Clotha
 We all know that Durham is a fabulous place, a livable artsy town with great food, and a vibrant culture. (The Durham Farmers' Market is at the epicenter of all that, of course.) So as a nod to all that wonderful Durham-ness, we have come up with a T-shirt that celebrates the Durham spirit. We've used batik to create a starry night, and silkscreened a Durham design underneath. Trendy enough to wear to a Food Truck Rodeo in Central Park, hip enough to wear to a night out at DPAC or to a Bulls game. We've also got Durham-themed kids clothes because you're never too young to be cool.
Hand-dyed clothing from Terra Clotha. Allowing your wardrobe to reflect Durham's spirit.
Like our Facebook page
and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase.

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 meads made with 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 from 1-5pm.
This week for the first summer hours Market, we are sampling our spring-iest meads, those for enjoying the lingering daylight at the end of the day... come try our
Orange Blossom Mead, this light bodied, semi-sweet mead from just orange blossom honey, is lovely with lighter spring meals. We will also sample our two floral meads... our
Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead is an earthy, herbal, dry and complex mead with lingering wildflower honey; and our
Lavender Mead is floral and savory, featuring local lavender from Sunshine Lavender Farm, infused into our Orange Blossom traditional semi-sweet mead.
We will also have available our Fig Orange Mead (semi-sweet, complex with caramelized roasted figs and two types of honey) and Vanilla Mead (vanilla bean-infused orange blossom honey, lightly sweet).

Maple Spring Gardens
 It's a bit early yet for planting cold sensitive crops like tomatoes and basil, but near the end of planting season for cool loving, frost tolerant crops like lettuce, spinach, kale, etc. These crops need to go in the ground ASAP so they can grow to maturity before summer comes. We'll have a good selection this week of mixed packs of lettuce, spinach, kale in both tuscan and curly, broccoli, fennel and swiss chard. It's also a good time to start such perennial herbs as thyme and rosemary. We'll have both plants available as well as oregano, lavender, chives, comfrey and cilantro.
In the fresh produce department, we'll have lots of spinach - the first new spring spinach from the field, arugula, pea shoots, radishes, baby mustards, kale, chard and sweet potatoes.
We'll also have our usual supply of farm grown dried herb teas, herb infused vinegars and Sunshine's Fire Tonic.
See you at Market bright and early!
