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

We will also be sampling our
Honey Chai Mead, like a warm mug of chai tea, our Honey Chai Mead is a loaded infusion of exotic spices, mingled with honey. Smooth, semi-sweet, and especially comforting in chilly months.

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 have bottles available of our Mango Habanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead made with mangos and habanero peppers.; and our Spiced Apple Cyser Mead, like apple pie in a glass, made with NC wildflower honey, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.

The Spicy Hermit
T
he 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?

All kimchi from The Spicy Hermit is raw, gluten-free, and vegan, and manufactured at each produce's seasonal peak.
We'll have green cabbage and napa cabbage. Use fermented foods to help you digest as well as add depth of flavor to dishes, such as dips, sauces, or even soups.

Terra Clotha
There's a lot you can put in a bag. Our hand-dyed cotton 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. And when you're finished, these bags fold up into their own little pocket. And then you can put the bag into your pocket.
Hand-dyed bags from Terra Clotha. Colorful. Versatile.

Chapel Hill Creamery
We're excited that spring is coming! The cows have started grazing some and calves are being born- six so far (see pictures on our Instagram or Facebook). The spring grass is the most plentiful in N.C. and we enjoy seeing the cows lining up to enter their next paddock to get to more grass. Get the cheese meat on Saturday whether you are getting out doors or watching lots of basketball.
Paneer is available this Saturday; traditionally it is gently fried and added to vegetables or curries. Cook fresh, delicious greens sautéed with Indian spices and cream for Saag Paneer, make peas and cheese (Mattar Paneer), or add to cooked carrots.
Other cheeses are fresh Dairyland Farmers, Hot Farmers, Hickory Grove, 10 month old Calvander, and Carolina Moon. Our cheeses are each distinctive, from fresh to aged and soft to firm; ask for a sample or serving suggestions if there's one you haven't had. Our Dairyland Farmers and Hickory Grove melt well for omelets or grilled cheese sandwiches, Calvander is wonderful for spaghetti, quiche and salads, and Carolina Moon is perfect for an appetizer all by itself with crackers or a baguette.
We have delicious ground beef on sale this weekend for $5.00/pound so that you can cook it for cheeseburgers with our Hickory Grove cheese, chili, or tacos. Jersey meat gets high rating for flavor and tenderness and we think you'll enjoy it.
Pork chops, spare ribs, bacon, and ground pork are available. Sausages includes Mild and Hot Italian, Bratwurst, Polish, Chorizo, Mild and Hot Breakfast, and Sage and Maple Links and Smoked Andouille. Choose your favorite and have a good weekend.

We offer delicious tamales made the artisan way: with love, care and attention to detail. To ensure we respect tradition, we source wholesome ingredients before steaming them in banana leaves, creating a flavorsome and aromatic product. We pride ourselves on taste and quality, and it won't go unnoticed. Every bite you take will give you a taste of the rich Colombian heritage our tamales are built on.
We will also have soups and pasteles de yuca: delicious roasted yuca pockets filled with red lentils, brown rice and spinach. A handheld food very similar to empanadas, only gluten-free and made with wholesome ingredients!
