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.

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 Fridays from 3-7 pm, Saturdays from 1-6 pm and Sundays from 1-5 pm.

This week we will be sampling: our BRAND NEW Strawbanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead with fresh strawberries and a spicy kick. Fermented with NC strawberries, wildflower honey and infused with habanero peppers to bring a little heat.

We will also be sampling our Lavender Mead , an infusion of fresh-dried local lavender flowers from Sunshine Lavender Farm in our orange blossom traditional semi-sweet mead.

And we will also be sampling the newest release of our Orange Blossom Mead, a lightly sweet traditional mead made with orange blossom honey.

We will also have bottles available of our Blueberry Mead, made with local blueberries and NC wildflower honey; and our Apple Cyser Mead, a dry-style cyser with crisp, tart apple highlights.

Chapel Hill Creamery

Now's the time to enjoy tomatoes and our Fresh Mozzarella before summer disappears. Making Caprese salad on a hot day is perfect, or melt the Mozzarella on Bruschetta with sautéed peppers, eggplant and zucchini, pizza, or chicken with pesto. We hand stretch the mozzarella each week, so enjoy it now! All of our cheese is made from the milk of our Animal Welfare Approved herd of Jersey cows. The rain has brought us good grazing for the cows, and the golden color of our Fresh Mozzarella comes from the carotene in the grass.

Other cheeses for Saturday are Paneer, Dairyland Farmers for a great tomato sandwich, Hickory Grove, Carolina Moon, a little washed rind Danziger, and Calvander. Paneer is an Indian frying cheese which is on the menu at Lantern Restaurant. Use Calvander, aged 7 months for homemade pesto, salads, or pasta. Our fresh, tangy Dairyland Farmers and our aged, semi-firm Hickory Grove just won in their categories at the national American Cheese Association competition last week, so come taste them if you haven't had them before.

More pork is in including Pork Chops! Customers love these so come early. Try the. Sausages include Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Bratwurst, Chorizo, and Breakfast. Sausages are made with the hams which make them more meaty and we've chosen the spice mixes we think you'll like. We have ground porkand Molasses Cured Bacon for fabulous BLTs. All our pork is from our pigs who drink the nutritious whey from cheese making. See you Saturday and don't forget your cooler!

The Spicy Hermit

The Spicy Hermit crafts traditional and seasonal kimchi using fresh produce from local farms (including those at Durham Farmers' Market!) and time-honored fermentation methods. What is kimchi? Simply put, kimchi is a delicious product resulting from seemingly magical alchemy of vegetables and spices. All kimchi from The Spicy Hermit is raw, gluten-free, and vegan, and manufactured at each produce's seasonal peak.

Our current offerings are: green cabbage, napa cabbage, radish, and a small selection of kohlrabi & carrot and collard greens. Come early to get best selection! Try them as a side dish, like pickles, or as seasoning for dips or sauces.

Maple Spring Gardens

Hello Farmers' Marketeers! We are now firmly entrenched in August. This is the month where summer seems to lay like a heavy wet blanket on North Carolina before finally beginning to gradually lift in September. Oddly enough, in this most summery of months, we will often experience a lull in our most summery of crops, tomatoes. Some years, like this one, we'll have had a wet summer up to this point, and one or more of the many fungal diseases tomatoes are susceptible too will have wiped out our heirlooms before the hybrid tomatoes come in. If, on the other hand, it's been a hot dry summer, like the last couple of years have been, the plants will flower through the month of July but will be unable to set fruit because it's too hot. I have always found it a sort of strange and bitter irony that in this hot humid month when everything seems wet and sticky the tomato supply seems to temporarily dry up. All that said, we will be bringing heirloom, slicing, roma, and sungold tomatoes to market this week to go along with our sweet peppers, green peppers, eggplant, potatoes, onions, lettuce, arugula, salad mix, pea shoots, cilantro, dill, parsley, basil, tulsi, sunflowers, handmade herbal teas, and herb infused vinegars. We look forward to seeing you there!

Harland's Creek Farm

On Saturday, August 11, 2018, Harland's Creek Farm be selling: Certified Organic Basil, Green Beans, Beets, Garlic, Mint, Okra, Peppers, Potatoes and Fingerling Potatoes, and Tomatoes-Yellow Valencia, Mixed red, and Mixed Cherry tomatoes

We are again featuring OKRA with recipes, samples, and pamphlets on the history of okra. For example, did you know okra seeds were used as a substitute for coffee in the South because a blockade by the North kept coffee seeds out of the US. In addition, George Washington Carver worked with Henry Ford on a biodegradable car in which the mats would have been made from okra fibers.

Hurtgen Meadows Farm

We're sad to announce that Understory Farm will be shutting down as of mid-August. We have really enjoyed being a member of the Durham Farmers' Market and appreciate all of the support from our devoted customers. We'll miss the camaraderie of our fellow vendors, the devotion of the market staff and volunteers, and the inspired fungal delicacies of the chefs we've been fortunate to work with.

This week I am featuring passion flowers. These exotic flowers look like they arrived from another planet! They can be found growing on vines in ditches in our area. Duke Gardens also has some in the White Garden and climbing porch posts.

I have a wide selection of photographic greeting cards featuring iconic spots around Durham, the OBX, Flowers, Fantasy, Animals, Whimsy, and astronomical images. If you don't see a subject you are looking for, just ask - I may have it. This week's image is of a passion flower, of course!

Many of my photos can be previewed on my Smugmug website. I will also have enlargements in 11x14" and 16x20" sizes and can make posters upon request. Drop by for a look and a chat!

Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farm

Stop by and visit with Jack and select some delicious bison meat for weeknight family dinners or for gatherings with family and friends on the weekend. Sandy made a quick and delicious bison dinner this past week using her Christmas gift, "The Spiralizer". Instead of noodles she created Zoodles with fresh zucchini. She boiled the zoodles for 2 minutes, drained and covered them with bison spaghetti sauce she made using Prego sauce with mushroom and ground bison. Quick and easy.

Caballo Rojo Coffee

My name is Gabriela Kavanaugh and I am owner and roaster for Caballo Rojo Coffee, roasting locally here in Durham. My grandfather was a leading coffee roaster in Venezuela and I wanted to continue this family tradition in my local community. My goal is to create moments involving coffee that connect the international community, that provides us with coffee, with our our local community. We are excited to be able to foster this vision by being at the Durham Farmers Market, providing you with cups of brewed coffee and bags of whole bean coffee.
