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

This is one of our favorite weekends of the year in Durham! Not only are we celebrating moms, but we also get to share in the joy of everyone who is graduating. Let's face it, we wouldn't be where we are today without the mother figures in our lives. Be sure to show them how much you love them with a local meal or gift from the farmers' market. And if you're lucky enough to celebrate a college grad this weekend, make sure you share the tastiest local treats with them.
Also, don't forget to join Blue Point Yoga Center for a fun morning of free yoga and community in Durham Central Park every Saturday. Class begins at 9:00 am and will take place in the lawn adjacent to the Brannan. Remember to bring your yoga mat and a water bottle. For more information, visit Durham Central Park's website.
Finally, we hope you enjoyed the Protein Palooza last weekend! We want to give a huge THANK YOU to the local chefs that whipped up the delicious samples featuring meat and produce from our vendors:
See you tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Follow Durham Farmers' Market:

Terra Clotha
 You might think that since the temperatures are climbing and weather is getting more pleasant that there will not be a need for a nice warm, fleecy Durham hoodie. You'd be wrong, of course. As the temperatures outside rise, the temperatures inside plummet. I'm not talking about your house, since anyone who pays attention to the environment and/or pays a utility bill tends to keep the house on the warm side during the summer. No, I'm thinking that if you ever have to go to work, or to school, or to the grocery store at this time of year, you'll be in a building that has its thermostat set at "Meat Locker." Thus, the perfect time for one of our hoodies.
Like our Facebook page
and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase.

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.
Thanks,
Lyndon Smith

We'll have green cabbage, napa cabbage, sweet onion, and a limited amount of green garlic. Use fermented foods to help you digest as well as add depth of flavor to dishes, such as dips, sauces, or salads.

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: the newest release of our
Strawberry Mead
, made with local strawberries and NC wildflower honey. Fresh and fragrant, light-bodied and dry, with a soft, lingering strawberry finish - pairs perfectly with champagne for a "mead-mosa!"
We will also be sampling our
Mango Habanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead made with earthy clover honey, tropical mangos and infused with spicy habanero peppers.
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 Ginger Mead, using local ginger root in an aged semi-sweet dark wildflower honey traditional mead; and our Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, floral, earthy and herbal dry-style mead with NC wildflower honey.

VEGETABLE PLANTS & HERBS
This week we'll be bringing an assortment of vegetable plants and herbs for your home gardens including tomato plants (cherry, salad, and large slicers, hybrid and heirloom, determinate and indeterminate), sweet bell and hot peppers, eggplant, blackberries, and a variety of herbs and flowers.

Chapel Hill Creamery
We are hoping the rain holds off for all the graduations and other celebrations, but we will be at market Saturday morning with our cheese and meat. We have Dairyland Farmers Cheese, Hickory Grove, 10 month old Calvander, a little Hot Farmers, Carolina Moon, and Danziger. Use the Farmers in our recipe for a chopped salad with carrots, raisins and nuts, melt in a burrito, or serve with hot pepper jelly. Hickory Grove is fabulous with pickles or sauerkraut, a charcuterie mix, or melted for grilled cheese and omelets. It is aromatic and savory, especially when melted. Use it for a cheeseburger with our flavorful ground beef. Carolina Moon is in the family of Camembert and Brie; the Danziger is a washed rind cheeses and it's a little stronger. Calvander is based on an Asiago so it adds lots of flavor to salads, pasta, or Quiche. Mix 2 or 3 of our cheeses for a cheese board for a party or a picnic.
Pork Chops packed 2 per pack! These often go to Lantern Restaurant but we'll have them on Saturday. Spare Ribs are at a special price of $2.00 off per pack. Get some Saturday to roast or grill soon. All our pork is from the whey fed pigs at our farm and the sausages include the hams for a more meaty flavor. We'll have Sage and Maple Breakfast links, Mild and Hot Breakfast in bulk pack, Smoked Andouille, Mild and Hot Italian, Mexican Chorizo, Polish with garlic and mustard, and Bratwurst. Molasses cured Bacon, Ground Pork and Ground Beef are also available. Our ground beef is flavorful and just a little lean, priced at $6.00 per pound. It is from our herd which is Animal Welfare Approved. Bring a cooler and enjoy the market!

Soul Cocina
Soul
Cocina
is a combination of eco-friendly philosophy and cutting-edge, dynamic approach to plant-based cuisine. We draw inspiration from Latin-American traditions and the availability of locally grown produce to create imaginative concepts.
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!
Take home our ready to eat tamales and pasteles de de yuca or come hungry to the market because we also offer them warm to eat while you shop!
