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

We hope you'll join us tomorrow for the last Winter Market of the season. Wahoo! The Main Season Market kicks off on Saturday, April 6 and we'll return to our regular hours of 8:00 am-noon. This will be our 20th anniversary season and we're excited to celebrate with you over the upcoming months. We're planning several special events so save the date for our first event on April 20 from 9:00-11:00 am. Also, don't forget to re-stock on your mid-week groceries at our Wednesday Market, which begins on April 17
from 3:00-6:00 pm.
 We hope you'll join us at the CROP Walk next Sunday, April 7! Part of
the funds raised through the walk support our Double Bucks program, which can match SNAP/EBT transactions dollar for dollar up to $10. Since we started accepting SNAP/EBT in 2014 and launched the Double Bucks program, more than $72,000 has been spent on local, fresh produce, meat, eggs, cheese, bread and more at the market. We are incredibly grateful for the CROP Walk's generous support and look forward to this community event. Check out their
website
for more information and don't forget to join the Durham Farmers' Market's team!
Finally, mark your calendars for CFSA's Annual Piedmont Farm Tour on April 27-28. You can purchase your buttons and pick up a map at the Info Table. This is an event you don't want to miss!

The Spicy Hermit
The Spicy Hermit crafts traditional and seasonal kimchi using fresh produce from local farms (including those at Durham Farmers Market!) and time-honored fermentation methods. What is kimchi? Simply put, kimchi is a delicious product resulting from seemingly magical alchemy of vegetables and spices. All kimchi from The Spicy Hermit is raw, gluten-free, and vegan, and manufactured at each produce's seasonal peak.
We'll have green cabbage and napa cabbage. Use fermented foods to help you digest as well as add depth of flavor to dishes, such as dips, sauces, or even soups.

Chapel Hill Creamery
Did you know that we raise pigs at our farm? In our efforts to be sustainable, we feed the liquid whey to pigs. The whey is nutritious for them and this process, which is the same used for the famous Prosciutto in Italy, solves the problem of how to dispose of the acidic whey. 90% of milk is liquid with only 10% of the solids like protein being concentrated in the cheese. We think the whey makes the pork tender and customers love the flavor. We sell Molasses cured Bacon, Spare Ribs, ground pork, and different varieties of sausage each week. The sausages are made with the hams for a more meaty product and we chose the spice mixes that we think you will like. Varieties this week are Mild and Hot Italian, Mild and Hot Breakfast, Sage and Maple Breakfast, Bratwurst, a little Polish with garlic and mustard, Smoked Andouille, and Mexican style Chorizo. The sausage is great to have on hand to add flavor to vegetables, greens, polenta, tacos, or pasta dishes.
Cheeses this week are New Moon, Carolina Moon, Dairyland Farmers, a little Hot Farmers, Danziger, Hickory Grove, and Calvander. New Moon is a smaller, young version of our aged and creamy Carolina Moon. This time of year New Moon is quite rich but with a more milky flavor. Great for an appetizer or a mixed cheese board. Dairyland Farmers is moist, soft and tangy for sandwiches with sliced radishes, for tacos, or for melting. Hickory Grove and Danziger are both washed rind cheeses but made with different recipes to attain very different textures. Hickory Grove is a semi-firm slicing cheese with a savory flavor that melts beautifully and Danzinger is softer with a slightly stronger flavor with a pungent aroma. Calvander is about 10 months old and you should try it now that it has this much age. Firm enough to grate but smooth enough to enjoy with a glass of red wine and nuts or pears. All our cheese is made with the milk from our Animal Welfare Approved Jersey cows and the rich milk adds a depth of flavor to complement the various types we make. Come by our booth for samples if you've never had our cheeses or for cooking suggestions.
We will also have our flavorful ground beef which makes a great cheeseburger with Hickory Grove or meatloaf with our Chorizo sausage. The Ground beef will be on special for $5.00 per pound this week. See you Saturday and enjoy the spring!

And we will also be sampling our
Strawbanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead with fresh strawberries and a spicy kick. Fermented with NC strawberries, wildflower honey and infused with habanero peppers to bring a little heat.
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.
