Food Waste Drop Off Program
Market visitors can bring all of their food waste from home and drop it off at the Carrboro Compost Collection during SaturdayMarket hours! The Carrboro Farmers' Market, Orange County Solid Waste Management, and a team of compost monitor volunteers set up a collection site for visitors to drop off compostable food waste year round, every Saturday. This isn't your run of the mill backyard compost! The Compost Collection goes to a commercial composting company, Brooks Contractor, who accepts a wide range of materials. All food scraps and food related paper can be composted at the market, including fruits, vegetables, meat, fat, bones, and dairy products as well as soiled napkins, paper towels, and plates. Look for the sign, the cart, and bring us your food waste! No plastic, metal, UPC produce stickers, or other non-compostable items, please.
If you are interested in getting involved with compost collection and education, please contact Muriel Williman at Muriel@orangecountync.gov.

Happy Friday!
It's the big July 4th weekend and we've got everything you need for your picnics and your grill! July is one of the busiest times of the year for farmers.There's lots and lots to harvest, and getting all of that produce out of the field and ready to be sold at Market is a huge task! I am always amazed at the sheer quantity of produce the vendors are bringing out to Market each summer. Trucks and tables are packed to the brim, and there are multiple varieties of just about everything. Then there's the weeding, watering, cleaning up from storm damage, and more chores that farmers still need to get done each week!
We are certainly hitting the thick of peak season at Market, and all your favorites are in - tomatoes, melons, eggplant, cucumbers, squash, zucchini, peppers, cabbage, new potatoes, blueberries, and more!
Don't forget about our huge selection of meat and poultry for the grill, along with artisan breads and pastries!
Next Saturday, July 8th is Tomato Day! You don't want to miss this incredible celebration of everything Tomato!
*Q+A and Book Signing with Tomato Expert Craig LeHoullier - Craig will be signing and selling his book Epic Tomatoes, and he is ready to answer all your tomato questions!
*The Giant Tomato Day Raffle - Over 25 incredible local businesses & market vendors have donated to our Tomato Day raffle, and every purchase gets you a chance to win! Stock up on raffle tickets and turn them in by the end of Market!
*Fun for the Kids - We will have a special kids only tomato trivia!
*Recipes, live music by Gabriel Pelli, a list of all the tomato varieties and the farmers that grow them, samples at several vendors' booths, and more!
Only 1 weeks away !
You don't want to miss this event !

Gardener's Corner -
A farmer-led revolution....
 Ten years before Paul Revere made his famous ride, Orange County NC farmers formed "The Regulators" to oppose the oppressive rule of King George III. Lord Governor Tryon sent the Redcoat militia up from New Bern and the "Battle of Alamance" ensued just south of what is now Burlington, NC. The story tragically ends with five Regulator ringleaders being hanged down by the Eno River in Hillsborough, but the seeds of the American Revolution had now been sown by a bunch of local North Carolina farmers.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK
Grilled Chicken Wings:
Nothing says
4th of July like a BBQ! And not much is better in the BBQ than bratwurst and chicken wings. Bratwurst is pretty self-explanatory but wings take a little more finesse. Here's
Dawnbreaker Farms' Chicken Wing Recipe for Success!
1. Fire up the grill.
2. While the grill is heating up go ahead and add your favorite rub or marinade to the wings. A simple salt and olive oil rub will suffice.
3. Put the wings on the grill and cover for 15-20 minutes or until done.
That's it! Simple, easy, healthy and delicious!

Chapel Hill Creamery
Chapel Hill Creamery will be at Market!
July Fourth is coming already! We have cheese, sausage, and spare ribs for grilling. Try a sample of our Pheta when you come to market. It is aged in a salt brine which is the traditional method. It has a tangy bite but also has the rich flavor of our Jersey cows' milk that customers love. It adds some punch to any salad or pasta dish. Toss with watermelon cubes, Tabouli, or green beans. Our tangy, fresh Dairyland Farmers is made each week; it's milk one day and cheese the next. It's especially good with tomatoes; use it in a sandwich, a salad of cubed tomatoes and basil, or in a taco with fresh salsa. Made each week, it is milk one day and cheese the next, so it's moist and refreshing.
We'll also have Carolina Moon which is creamy like a Brie. It naturally ripens which means it get softer and develops more flavor as it ages. Use as an appetizer or serve it with crusty bread to pair with a salad or cooked vegetables for a quick meal. 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.
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, and Sage and Maple Breakfast. We hope to pick up more sausage before Saturday and will have even more to choose from. We'll also have spare ribs, ground pork, and a little ground beef. Pick up one of our recipes, taste some samples, and have a great weekend and July fourth.
