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

Happy National Farmers' Market Week! Why do we love shopping at local markets? Check out the top 5 reasons below and share with us what you love!
Farmers' markets:
1.) Preserve farmland
2.) Stimulate local economies
3.) Increase access to nutritious food
4.) Support healthy communities
5.) Promote sustainability
We look forward to welcoming you to market to share in the local produce, meat, eggs, cheese, bread, crafts, and more! All vendors at the market come from 70 miles away or less. This means that the produce was most likely picked just the day before, making sure that it is as fresh as possible! Farmers love to share their favorite recipes or tell you how
your food was grown, making farmers' markets a very special place to shop.
Don't miss one of our own farmers,
Martha Mobley of Meadow Lane Farm, as she joins
Frank Stasio on WUNC's "The State of Things." Martha will be sharing her life story as a woman farmer and business owner in North Carolina. Check out WUNC on Monday to hear her story or download wherever you get your podcasts!

Honeygirl Meadery
Honeygirl Meadery is a small urban meadery in downtown Durham, making an ancient craft beverage for modern days.
Made in the heart of Durham, North Carolina, Honeygirl meads (honey wines) are hand-crafted libations made in small batches with all-natural ingredients.
Our mission is to celebrate nature and the work of honeybees by making meads with seasonal fruits, flowers, herbs and honey.
Owner Diane Currier started Honeygirl in 2014 and has continued to grow their line up over the past several years. A modern meadmaker, Diane continually experiments with different flavors and techniques in making her meads. All of our meads are naturally gluten free. We use both local and global true source honey to fully access the terroir of the
honeybee and to experience all the places the bees have visited. Many of our meads contain local fruits, herbs and flowers from Durham and its surrounding areas to further accentuate our "drink the field" philosophy and bring the garden to your glass.
Visit our downtown Durham Tasting Room just one mile away from the market - open on Thursdays from 4-8 pm, Fridays from 4-8 pm, Saturdays from 12-8 pm & Sundays 12-5 pm. We hold tours of our facility on Saturdays at 2 and 3 pm.
This week at the market we will be sampling our Orange Blossom Mead, a traditional mead made with orange blossom honey; our Mango Habanero Mead, made with clover honey, mangos and infused with habanero peppers
; and our
Lavender Mead
, made with orange blossom honey and infused with fresh-dried local lavender flowers.
We will also have bottles available of our Blueberry Mead and our
Strawberry Mead.

Botanist & Barrel
Botanist & Barrel crafts a variety of ciders, sours, and dry fruit wines. Using techniques from wine-making, brewing, and mixology they are constantly blurring the lines. They are Orange County's first winery and cidery, situated just north of Hillsborough, on Cedar Grove Blueberry Farm. They are also farmers raising dry farmed, no-spray, organic blueberries, for the best estate grown fruit on earth.
Founded in 2017 by brother and sister team and Orange County natives, Lyndon and Kether Smith focus on light-handed winemaking using old world methods with modern sensibilities. They lean towards whole fruit fermentation and make natural beverages with no additives or forced carbonation. They ferment to zero residual sugar and the ABV ranges from 7% to 15.5%. The ciders and wines are raw, wild, unfined, unfiltered, unpasteurized and you will find both still and sparkling ciders. They age in everything from tequila barrels, to sea salt bourbon barrels, to rum, to sauternes, to tawny port to bourbon maple syrup barrels.
Botanist & Barrel is hyper-local, sourcing ingredients whenever possible from within 200 miles of our farmhouse winery.

Terra Clotha
There's a lot you can put in a bag. Our hand-dyed bags can hold a weekend's worth of groceries. And they can hold other things: Tennis balls. Art supplies. That screenplay you've been working on in
your spare time. Cats (but don't let them out). Magic swords. The Complete Works of Fergus McGee (Profusely Annotated for the Modern Reader). Crisp stacks of non-sequential twenty-dollar bills. Various kinds of modestly sized electronic equipment.
Hand-dyed bags from Terra Clotha. Colorful. Versatile.

Chapel Hill Creamery
Now's the time to enjoy good tomatoes with our Fresh Mozzarella for the hot days of August! Make a Caprese Salad or use our mozzarella with sautéed eggplant and zucchini dishes. Get creative with your favorite topping on toast and melt the mozzarella over it for a delicious bruschetta. You can see the golden color in our cheese that comes from the grass the cows graze.
Other cheeses include creamy Carolina Moon, a few New Moon, Dairyland Farmers, savory semi firm Hickory Grove, our 7 month aged Calvander, and Danziger.
Creamy Carolina Moon highlights our rich Jersey milk and it is ready to serve for an easy appetizer with jam or fruit. New Moon is the younger, smaller version that has a lighter, flavor since it is not aged as long.
Add the fresh and tangy Dairyland Farmers to tomato sandwiches, Chili Rellenos, salads, or tacos with our Chorizo sausage.
Hickory Grove is a savory cheese with a washed rind and it's good for snacking or for a great grilled cheese sandwich. Calvander cheese is perfect for making pesto and we have a recipe at our booth you can pick up. It is full of flavor with a little bite to it. Grate it over pasta or serve with a glass of red wine.
Our pork comes from pigs we raise on the farm who drink the nutritious whey from cheese making. Choices of sausage include Italian, Mexican Chorizo, Smoked Andouille, Sage and Maple Breakfast Links. We have Mild and Hot Breakfast as well as ground pork in bulk pack. Cook our Hot Italian sausage and fresh Mozzarella on a pizza for a quick and delicious dinner. See you Saturday and enjoy the weekend.
