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

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
Lavender Mead
, an infusion of fresh-dried local lavender flowers from Sunshine Lavender Farm in our orange blossom traditional semi-sweet mead.
We will also be sampling our
Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, floral, earthy and herbal dry-style mead with NC wildflower honey, dried hibiscus petals and fresh lemonthyme.
And we will also be sampling 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 have bottles available of our Blueberry Mead, made with local blueberries and NC wildflower honey; and our Apple Cyser Mead,
a dry-style cyser with crisp, tart apple highlights.

Chapel Hill Creamery
The cows are happy! With all the rain we've had,
July is offering the herd unusually lush, tender, abundant grass for this time of year. The bounty of the pasture is reflected in the depth of color and flavor in the cheese, bringing the nutrients of the sun, soil, and grass to YOUR table! "Pot of Gold" mozzarella, anyone?
The tomato festival will be fun and we'll have Fresh Mozzarella to buy for Caprese Salad, pizza with our Italian Sausage, or just melted on a piece of good bread. All our cheese is made with the milk from our Animal Welfare Approved Jersey cow herd.
We also have Carolina Moon, similar to a Camembert; fresh Dairyland Farmers, moist and tangy; creamy Danziger, our savory, washed rind Hickory Grove; and firmer more aged Calvander which is a smooth version of Asiago. Pick up some Calvander to make Pesto. We are very low on Pheta but have a new batch aging.
Pork Chops are back!
All our pork is from our pigs who drink the nutritious whey from cheese making. Sausages include Mild Italian, Smoked Andouille, Polish, Chorizo, Sage and Maple Breakfast links, and Mild Country Breakfast.
We also have Ribs, ground pork, and Molasses cured Bacon for BLTs. Bring your cooler and enjoy the market!

Maple Spring Gardens
Happy hot summer afternoon to you! We are currently putting in our fall cucurbits out here at the farm. For us that means a late planting of cucumbers, some zucchini, and winter squash. Cucurbits also include melons like cantaloupe, watermelon, and honeydew (which we don't grow), and they are a very interesting family of plants. They love heat, and need lots of water, but they also like soil that is fairly well drained. They are also notoriously finicky about being transplanted, and must be babied if you are planting starts. However, if you plant from seed they'll go gangbusters! Luckily for all of us they are tremendous at shading out competing weeds which means that by the time they get totally out of control you really don't have to do much to them. Just something to think about as your enjoying a cucumber or melon at market...
This week we'll be bringing blueberries, blackberries, cantaloupe, sun jewel melons, arugula, peashoots, peppers, eggplant, potatoes, onions, carrots, tomatoes, cucumbers, parsley, chives, basil, garlic, tulsi, and our selection of handmade teas and herbal infused vinegars. We look forward to seeing you there!

Sunset Ridge Buffalo Farm
Stop by and visit with Jack and select some delicious bison meat for weeknight family dinners or for gatherings with family and friends on the weekend. Sandy made a quick and delicious bison dinner this past week using her Christmas gift, "The Spiralizer". Instead of noodles she created Zoodles with fresh zucchini. She boiled the zoodles for 2 minutes, drained and covered them with bison spaghetti sauce she made using Prego sauce with mushroom and ground bison. Quick and easy.

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!
