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

 These past few days of cooler weather remind us that fall is right around the corner. Even though I know the temperatures will warm up again, I cannot help but be excited for a new season and new produce to arrive in the upcoming weeks. Summer crops are slowing down at the market so be sure to swing by and pick up some of your favorite warm-weather fruits and veggies before new colors fill our farmers' tables.
Tomorrow we're in for a special treat as chef Kyle Wilkerson and Candace Crank of
Heirloom Restaurant host a cooking demo on the market lawn. Join them from 9-11 am to sample their delicious meal and be sure to ask them which local farmers they purchased their ingredients from.
Also, mark your calendar for next Saturday, September 1 when we host a seasonal cooking demo with local foodie
Nicole Cardon. Trust us - you never want to miss what Nicole is whipping up.
Sincerely,
Follow Durham Farmers' Market:

The
Friend of Durham Farmers' Market program

Terra Clotha
 The birthday party was almost over, and Janet and Marsha were waiting at the edge of the room until they could take their toddlers home. "It looks like I'm going to have to give Amanda a bath as soon as we walk in the door. She spilled food all over her romper," Janet said. "And little Timothy over there; he's pretty much wearing his birthday cake. I wouldn't be surprised if his mother takes him outside and hoses him off before she lets him in the car. But I notice the T-shirt your little Julius is wearing looks as fresh an when he walked in the door. How does you get him to look so crisp?" Janet looked wonderingly at Marsha.
"Oh, I'm sure Julius is covered in as much mess as the rest of the kids," Marsha told her friend. "He's just wearing a hand-dyed T-shirt we got him at the Durham Farmers' Market. The irregularity of the dye process means spills and stains just blend in."
Hand-dyed children's clothes from Terra Clotha. Sure to make your children look their best.

Chapel Hill Creamery
Enjoy local tomatoes and our Fresh Mozzarella before summer disappears. We will make it for this week and Sept 1. Try the flavorful yellow and red cherry tomatoes or your favorite variety in a Caprese salad with basil or other fresh herbs. Mozzarella melts beautifully for Bruschetta with sautéed peppers, with roasted eggplant, over chicken with pesto. Add to a pizza with our Italian sausage. 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 golden color of our Fresh Mozzarella comes from the carotene in the grass that the cows are grazing.
Other cheeses for Saturday are Dairyland Farmers for a great tomato sandwich, Hickory Grove, Carolina Moon, a little Paneer, Danziger, and Calvander. Paneer is an Indian frying cheese which is on the menu at Lantern Restaurant. Use the 7 month aged Calvander for homemade pesto with fresh basil, salads, or pasta. Danziger and Hickory Grove are washed rind cheeses with different textures. Hickory Grove is good for slicing and melting; Danziger has a stronger flavor with a creamy texture like our Carolina Moon which is a Camembert style. 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 month so come taste them if you haven't had them before.
Sausages
include Mild Italian, Hot Italian, Bratwurst, Chorizo, Polish with mustard and garlic, Mild Country Breakfast, and Maple and Sage Breakfast Links.
We also have ground pork.
All our pork is from our pigs who drink the nutritious whey from cheese making. See you Saturday and don't forget your cooler!

And we will also be sampling our

We will also have bottles available of our

Pamela Strand Photography
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!

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!
