Thank you for your continued support of our family

2023 here we come! Celebrate in style with locally produced natural cider and wine. We'll bring a selection of our favorites from 2022, including our DeFi Traminette Pet Nat Wine with notes of Stone fruit, white flower, apricot, honeysuckle. Fermented with native yeast. Disgorged by hand. An absolutely perfect bubbly bottle for any celebration! Cheers



Botanist & Barrel crafts real southern ciders, sours, and dry fruit wines. We are the South's only natural cidery focused on spontaneous and wild cultures. We craft healthy adult lifestyle beverages for every occasion. We support our local farmers using local sustainably and organically sourced fruits, including blueberries, apples and more from our no spray estate farm. Only tree ripened apples are used in our ciders with a focus on traditional southern heritage cider apples. All of our ciders and wines contain little to no residual sugar and are low calorie. As an experimental winery we have almost no rules with the exceptions being we never fine, filter or pasteurize any of our ciders or wines. 

If you received a gift of Terra Clotha clothing for the holidays and you found that it was the wrong size (or the wrong color), please bring it back to the market and we will be happy to exchange it. If we don’t have what you want in stock, we will make it for you as a special order. Additionally, we will have plenty of Durham hoodies and colorful long-sleeved t-shirts at the market on Saturday.

Dearest Goat Cheese Lovers, try our Plain Logs! Here we have our Plain goat cheese with some pickled beets, white onions (red onions would be a better choice), spinach and some balsamic vinaigrette. If I could add anything it would have been some orange anything (zest, juice, slices), I’ll leave that choice to you.  

We have a selection of goats milk items handcrafted with love in Siler City, NC! At our booth you'll find a rainbow of flavors displaying our spreadable cheeses, nestled in among our pure chevrè, aged bloomy rind cheeses, yogurts, gelato, fudge, and even soaps. As NC's pioneer farmstead goat dairy, we've been treating all our goats like celebrities since 1991, and strive to do the same for our customers! Help us limit contact and keep each other safe during market transactions by placing pre-orders through our website, https://celebritydairy.com/preorder! 

Spreadable flavor for October: Cranberry Spread

Lots of love from your cheese-makers,

 Elizabeth, Monica, Kelly, Ina & the Goats

    Whey Fed Pork: Live high on the hog this year with our whey fed pork; cook some for New Year’s Day or any day of the year. We have Pork Chops, Bacon, ground pork, and Ham hocks. Our sausage is delicious; we add the hams and we’ve chosen the spices that we think you’ll like for dinner and breakfast.

  Farmhouse Cheese: We have an extra-aged Calvander from early 2020 this week, plus Thunder Mt. Swiss, aged Carolina Moon, a few New Moon, Hickory Grove. We will not have our Farmers cheese and probably no other fresh cheeses this week as we’re having mechanical problems with the boiler for the vat. Our cheeses have distinctive flavors and textures; two or three make a good cheese board.

  Pastured Beef: We also have chuck roasts, eye of round, beef stew, soup bones, and steaks. Jersey beef is flavorful and tender.

Plenty of fresh vegetables this week: bok choi, mibuna, sweet hakurei salad turnips, radishes, scallions, orange and purple sweet potatoes and a variety of dried tomatoes and apples.

Wreath season is here!

We'll have plenty of cedar wreaths, handmade on grapevine bases. Also twig wreaths with holly berries or willow.

All our produce, flowers and plants are certified naturally grown for healthful foods from healthy fields!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!

  We plan to be at market Saturday, assuming we are able to get enough done to recover from the damages of the wind and cold of this past weekend. It was pretty rough. The carrots are the only thing we are sure made it through the extreme freeze, but we hope to find something green for you all as well! Hope to see you at the market Saturday,

As the holidays wind down it might be time to treat yourself to a special mug or favorite soup bowl or serving platter. 

QUILTS - Great lap quilts, baby quilts, wall hangings. Each quilt is unique combination of my original fabric designs. Spoonflower prints the quilt tops for me. I quilt them. 100% cotton fiber and batting. 

POTTERY CAMPS - 

I’ve shared my studio with children for the past 27 years, offering teacher workday and school holiday camps as well as week-long summer camps. I believe I have four more years of camp energy in me. 

Let me know when your child would like to spend the day in the studio with me. I’d love to share my enthusiasm for mud!

POTTERY LESSONS for ADULTS

I offer lessons for 1-4 students at a time, scheduled by appointment. Treat yourself to a little fun with mud. I’ll get you started for success on the wheel. I’ll help get you to the next level of throwing. Or just come to discover if wheel throwing is your thing. 

I am so grateful to all my pottery patrons!

         ** FARM NEWS: 

Last weekend's weather really did a number on the vegetables.. inside the high tunnel greenhouse and out in the field.. both were covered with row covers. When the temperature gets to 6 degrees, it is difficult for any crop to survive.  Mario is surveying the damages as the temperature slowly increases.    Luckily, he worked hard transplanting some of the smaller, less mature vegetables that were outside ... moving them inside the tunnels.. before the big freeze.  However, it was COLD everywhere.  

PECANS... many finally dropped to the ground during the windy weather last Friday.  We are thankful a portion of the trees bore fruit this year.  Mario and I spent several afternoons hand harvesting pecans and we delivered the first large batch to the sheller. Many of you have been asking for our shelled pecans... and we hope to have them at the DFM next weekend.  They are great frozen to use for your baking needs or slow roasted... nothing better than fresh pecans.   I am also THANKFUL my late grandmother, "Mamie", planted these large trees lining the driveway, where the word "LANE" comes from in our farm's name, over 85 years ago! 

Many of the lambs and kids decided to be born in the cold weather.. so we had to bring them inside the heated barn room... to dry them off and make sure they had colostrum... before returning to their mothers. Mario also rounded up all of the newborns and mothers every afternoon and made sure they could come inside the big barn and bed down in hay to stay dry and warmer in the night. This past week has been a trying time to be a farmer of both livestock and vegetables.  

We are very proud that our farm's cattle have recently been 'Certified Global Animal Partner' (GAP Stage #4) and Animal Welfare Certified... with a national certification which included intensive inspections and audits. Also, all calves are easily tracked with electronic tagging.. from birth to harvest.  A genetic profile of the cattle herd was completed by the American Angus Association with our stocker calves ranking high for carcass traits... potentially grading a Choice or Prime carcass. I am thankful my father and grandfather were visionaries in selecting the best beef cattle out there... starting in 1911!  Now, I just need to keep the farm growing and producing outstanding Angus BEEF for you, our valued customers.

We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. We are all hoping for better weather.
