Based in Durham, Red Drum Roasters focuses on small-batch, single-origin coffees that are distinctive yet approachable. We source our beans from a handful of importers who cultivate direct and beneficial relationships with farmers and co-ops. 

This week, we’re excited to offer hot coffee (including decaf), café au lait, cold brew, and an assortment of bagged beans, including two new Ethiopian coffees.

PASTURED BEEF: Ground beef is on special at 2 packs for $13.00. Beef kielbasa, osso bucco, and some steak are also available. Check our sign for other cuts we may bring. Enjoy hearty meals while the weather is cool with chili or bolognese sauce.

WHEY FED PORK: We have Spare Ribs, Pork Chops, Butt Roasts, plenty of sausages, Bacon, ground pork, and Smoked Ham hocks. Sausages are made with the hams for extra meatiness and come in seven flavors, mild or spicy. Keep sausage in your freezer for a quick meal.  

FARMHOUSE CHEESE: Carolina Moon is in stock from somewhat young to more ripe. This cheese ages from the outer edge toward the center; getting more creamy over time. Hickory Grove, New Moon, Calvander, Dairyland Farmers’ Cheese, Hot Farmers, and maybe some Dill Farmers will also be available. We will not have YoYo, Paneer, or Ricotta for a while as our small vat for making them is broken. So sorry to share that news.

Family and Future makes wholesome treats you can feel good about bringing home to your loved ones. All of our chocolate bars, nut butters and fudges are organic, dairy free, sweetened without cane sugar, and made completely from scratch. Steven Lambeth started this business so he could still eat sweets while on a restricted diet and has since grown with a vision of both supporting starting a family with his wife and wanting to align with a more sustainable future. We only use fair-trade cacao to support more ethical food systems and, when possible, use compostable or reusable packaging to help minimize waste.

Cool season crops are coming strong! Carrots, radicchio, kales, collards, radishes, turnips, sweet potatoes, popcorn, and more for you every Saturday. Look for me at the far end of the pavilion.

Hello from Lil' Farm. At market this week we will have kale, collards, chard, scallions, napa cabbage, salanova lettuce, red mustard and more.

And...

It’s time to sign up for our 2023 CSA! Join us for a fresh, colorful, nutritious future bounty.

What is a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a farming model based on developing a direct relationship between farmers and their community. A weekly box of lovely seasonal veggies ( and strawberries!) is the glorious result. This is an opportunity to support a farmer by purchasing in advance the most seasonal and successful crops available while acknowledging that some crops will not always work out with the endless variables at play. The good news is, we grow so many different things you may never notice our secret failings.

The CSA will run April 12th through July 26th (16 weeks). Like last year, we are offering a Home Delivery option and 2 pick up sites in Durham (West Durham and South Durham). Go to our website to see pricing and learn more- www.lilfarm.com. We would love to have you! Please share the info with anyone who would be interested.

Thank you and take care,

Lily and George

What a change in temperature! The growing season was about 4-5 weeks ahead of schedule compared to a "normal" year.  With the freezes and frosts this week, our organic strawberry crop had to be covered with row covers.. we are really pampering them now.... covers on and then off.. so the bees and wind can get the blooms pollinated.  The asparagus (2 acre field) is just beginning to pop through the soil... but hopefully they will stop growing with this cold weather. 

The greens are coming along great in the solar-powered high tunnel. Mario has them packed with wonderful organic vegetables for you... fennel, lettuce, chard, kale, and more. 

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. THANK YOU for your continued support of our Century-old, woman owned and operated Family Farm!
