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're excited to kickoff the first official weekend of summer with you and your family! You'll find your favorite summer produce, including watermelon, sweet corn, tomatoes and much, much more at the market right now. This is such an easy time of the year to purchase all of your groceries at the farmers' market so bring your shopping bags and stock up on local food.
 This week we're happy to welcome ADF for a BIG DANCE wild ride radio show mash up of summer hits that is a celebration of everything summer. Featuring all-time hits, Martha and the Vandella's "Dancing in the Street," Janis Joplin's "Summertime," and the quintessential classic "Wipeout!" in a sound score composed by Ken Ray Wilemon. All set to Rock Star Choreographer Mark Dendy's kinetic, physically explosive and always socially relevant style. The ADF commissioned work will be performed by a young company of 10 dancers handpicked by Dendy for their unique talents. The dancers will receive full scholarships for the summer as part of ADF's long standing mission to help dancers make the transition into the professional dance world. The show starts at 10:00 am and you don't want to miss this!
Finally, don't forget you can re-stock on local groceries at the
Wednesday Market every week from 3-6 pm.
See you tomorrow!
Sincerely,
Follow Durham Farmers' Market:

Botanist & Barrel
 Botanist & Barrel crafts a variety of ciders, sours, and dry fruit wines. Using techniques from wine-making, brewing, and mixology they are constantly blurring the lines. They are Orange County's first winery and cidery, situated just north of Hillsborough, on Cedar Grove Blueberry Farm. They are also farmers raising dry farmed, no-spray, organic blueberries, for the best estate grown fruit on earth.
Founded in 2017 by brother and sister team and Orange County natives, Lyndon and Kether Smith focus on light-handed winemaking using old world methods with modern sensibilities. They lean towards whole fruit fermentation and make natural beverages with no additives or forced carbonation. They ferment to zero residual sugar and the ABV ranges from 7% to 15.5%. The ciders and wines are raw, wild, unfined, unfiltered, unpasteurized and you will find both still and sparkling ciders. They age in everything from tequila barrels, to sea salt bourbon barrels, to rum, to sauternes, to tawny port to bourbon maple syrup barrels.
Botanist & Barrel is hyper-local, sourcing ingredients whenever possible from within 200 miles of our farmhouse winery.
Thanks,
Lyndon Smith

Honeygirl Meadery
Honeygirl Meadery is a small urban meadery in downtown Durham, making an ancient craft beverage for modern days.
Made in the heart of Durham, North Carolina, Honeygirl meads (honey wines) are hand-crafted libations made in small batches with all-natural ingredients.
Our mission is to celebrate nature and the work of honeybees by making meads with seasonal fruits, flowers, herbs and honey.
Owner Diane Currier started Honeygirl in 2014 and has continued to grow their line up over the past several years. A modern meadmaker, Diane continually experiments with different flavors and techniques in making her meads. All of our meads are naturally gluten free. We use both local and global true source honey to fully access the terroir of the
honeybee and to experience all the places the bees have visited
. Many of our meads contain local fruits, herbs and flowers from Durham and its surrounding areas to further accentuate our "drink the field" philosophy and bring the garden to your glass.
Visit our downtown Durham Tasting Room just one mile away from the market - open on Thursdays from 4-8 pm, Fridays from 4-8 pm, Saturdays from 12-8 pm and Sundays 12-5 pm. We hold tours of our facility on Saturdays at 2 and 3 pm.
This week at the market we will be sampling our
Orange Blossom Mead, a traditional mead made with orange blossom honey; our
Strawberry Mead
, made with local strawberries and NC wildflower honey; and our Lavender Mead, made with orange blossom honey and infused with fresh-dried local lavender flowers.
We will also have bottles available of our Spice Apple Cyser and our
Mango Habanero Mead.

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, napa cabbage, radish, and green garlic, as well as newly made items (in limited stock): trombocino/centercut squash (similar to butternut but with meatier flavor of zucchini), kohlrabi and carrot, and scarlet turnip. Come early for best selection! Use fermented foods to help you digest as well as add depth of flavor to dishes, such as dips, sauces, or salads.

Melina's Fresh Pasta
We will be at market this Saturday with a variety of fresh pasta and
sauces! Our seasonal ravioli flavor is Sweet Corn & Mascarpone. We
will also be bringing our Basil Pecan Pesto - new for summer! Or pick
up one of our take-and-bake lasagnas for an easy and delicious meal.
|
Chapel Hill Creamery
Enjoy our Fresh Mozzarella and tomatoes now! Come early to get the mozzarella and pick up your favorite tomato variety or mix a few different varieties for a
Caprese salad. This picture is from our good customer Bruce Vance who enjoys making these mozzarella
"Nepolitans" when tomatoes are at their best.
Other cheeses this week include savory Hickory Grove, the stronger washed rind Danziger, 7 month aged Calvander, fresh and tangy Dairyland Farmers, and Carolina Moon. Carolina Moon is the perfect appetizer by itself or with a little fruit or chutney. Use the Hickory Grove for a great cheeseburger or omelet and grate the Calvander for pesto while basil is available. Both Hickory Grove and Danziger are washed rind cheeses which get a special cheese culture washed onto the surface while they age. The Danziger is semi soft with a slightly stinky, pungent aroma for those who love that style of cheese.
Pork chops are back! We also have
really nice Spare Ribs and Molasses
cured bacon for a great BLT. Choices of sausage include Mild and Hot Italian,
Sage and Maple Breakfast Links,
Mild and Hot Breakfast in loose pack, Chorizo, Smoked Andouille,
Polish with garlic and mustard, and Bratwurst. Pick your favorite to grill or to add to tacos or a gumbo. We also have ground pork and a new item of smoked pork bones for making a great stock for greens, beans, or mixed vegetables. The bones are in a small pack at only $5.00 per pound. See you Saturday and d
on't forget your cooler!

Terra Clotha
Who doesn't love dinosaurs? The crowds at the newly reopened Dinosaur Hall at the Smithsonian's Museum of Natural History in Washington, DC indicates that a lot of people do. Although they've been gone more than 60 million years, a lot of us would like to see one peek around that building over there, if only for a minute. Preferably a stegosaurus, but we're really not
trying to be picky. We have thought hard about the dinosaur conundrum recently, and finally decided there was something we could do to help bring dinosaurs back, at least on clothing. So we went into our Mad Scientist Clothing Lab (ask about our lab coats) and came up with a line of batik dino T-shirts for children. They are colorful and funky. Fun to wear. And try not to put the T-rex in the same drawer as the triceratops.
Like our Facebook page
and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase.

Homebucha
 Make your market an experience with an ice cold natural beverage from Homebucha! We offer multiple flavors of our locally fermented probiotic tea, and will also be serving iced matcha on these warm summer Saturdays. Matcha is a specially processed green tea, grown in the shade to encourage the plant to produce extra antioxidants and caffeine. One cup of matcha has the nutritional content of 10 cups of regular green tea! The leaves are then dried and stone ground to produce a vibrant green powder that we mix into a refreshing icy drink. Stop by to cool out with a kombucha or matcha!

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!
