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

 As we reflect on another successful main season at the market, our staff, volunteers and vendors are so grateful to the dedicated customers who make time for the market in their busy schedules and eat local year-round.
Before we head into the winter market season, we want to have a day dedicated to YOU. We're giving out FREE VEGGIE TATTOOS
to customers and kids at the Info Table and will conduct a social media gift certificate SCAVENGER HUNT! Check out the scavenger hunt guidelines below:
- Follow us on Instagram and tune in to our Instagram story on Saturday morning starting at 8 am.
- We will hide three gift certificates somewhere at the Market. We will give a hiding spot clue for each gift certificate in our Instagram story.
- If you find one of the gift certificates, please send us a message so we know it has been claimed.
- Spend your gift certificate with any of our amazing vendors!
We cannot thank you enough for your support this season. We look forward to spending our morning with you tomorrow and hope you find everything you need to cook your family and friends a perfect Thanksgiving meal.
See you tomorrow!

Become a friend of the
Durham Farmers' Market!
 The Durham Farmers' Market has been a community destination in downtown Durham since 1999 thanks to YOU, our loyal customers and supporters. Over the years we have grown the Market and continue to provide Durham with an event that nourishes the soul of our wonderful city.
You may not know that the Market operates primarily off of the weekly stall fees from our farmers and artisans. Despite this modest budget, we are constantly working to make fresh and healthy food accessible to our entire Durham community.
We want to continue expanding the offerings of our Market and need your help to make this happen.
The Friend of Durham Farmers' Market program provides an opportunity for you to invest in the future of the Market by making recurring or one-time contributions via PayPal or check. Examples of how we will use the funds include expanding our children's programming, continuing our outreach efforts to underserved communities in Durham, developing our nutrition education programs, and increasing staff hours. In addition to being part of a community effort to support others, a friend of the Market will receive a button to proudly display on their trusty Market tote.
We know that for some, resources are tight. If donations are not an option and you do not have time to volunteer, you can share what we do or visit us on Facebook or Instagram. If you would like to volunteer, we have several opportunities available including assisting at the Information Table, leading cooking demos, fundraising, and much more.
If you are interested in sharing your time with the Market, please e-mail us.
We invite you to invest in your Market. Please continue stimulating our local food economy and join our effort to build a stronger, healthier Durham. Thank you!

 My name is Gabriela Kavanaugh and I am owner and roaster for Caballo Rojo Coffee, roasting locally here in Durham. My grandfather was a leading coffee roaster in Venezuela and I wanted to continue this family tradition in my local community. My goal is to create moments involving coffee that connect the international community, that provides us with coffee, with our our local community. We are excited to be able to foster this vision by being at the Durham Farmers' Market, providing you with cups of brewed coffee and bags of whole bean coffee. Stop by and say "Hello!" this Saturday!

Suman's Indian Catering
 I see this as an opportunity to market and expand local sales of my products, as well as to increase brand recognition. I also recognize that there is an unmet niche in the area of semi-prepared Indian (South Asian) cuisine. Regular shoppers at the Durham Farmers Market actively buy fresh, raw ingredients (vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs, etc.), acknowledging their superior quality in the preparation of home meals. I envision that these same shoppers will see my prepared sauces and chutneys as an opportunity to integrate the other fine DFM products to create superior cuisine at home with a minimum of complexity.
Simplify meals! Add meats, vegetables, seafood, tofu, to these ready-to-use sauces and versatile chutneys!
Sauces (one pint serves 8, generously):
Tikka Masala Sauce: A silky, unarguably rich, butter-cardamom-tomato-cream sauce, perfumed with fenugreek.
Punjabi Curry Sauce: A robust ensemble of onions, tomatoes, ginger, garlic, turmeric, and aromatic spices
Kerala Coconut Curry Sauce: An intense amalgam of onions coconut, fresh curry leaves, ginger, garlic and roasted red chillies
Vindaloo Sauce: A spicy, zesty sauce wit onions, ginger, roasted crushed spices...with a whiff of vinegar
Chutneys (DF, GF, SF):
As per customer responses, they have been used on rabbit, fruit salads, salads, yogurt, roast pork, salmon, goat cheese, ice cream, eaten right out of the carton and more!
Special Fresh Mango-Cranberry-Ginger Chutney!*
Peach-Raisin-Ginger
Tomato-Raisin-Ginger
Pear-Grape-Golden Raisin-Ginger

Chapel Hill Creamery
We have lots of cheese and meat this weekend that you can pick up now for your Thanksgiving plans. Our Hickory Grove is our own recipe that combines the texture of a Gouda with toasty, butterscotch flavors from our rich Jersey milk. It has a washed rind that puts it in a category called monastery cheese. It's not named for a monastery but our farm is near the Hickory Grove Missionary Baptist church and that inspired the name. The washed rind gives the cheese a pungent smell when it's unwrapped, but the cheese itself is savory and mild. Use Hickory Grove at room temperature for snacking with apples or a glass of red wine. It melts wonderfully for grilled cheese sandwiches, omelets, or mac and cheese. Pick up a copy of our recipe for Turnip Gratin which is also on our website.
Paneer is available this week and it is an Indian frying cheese you can add it to cooked greens or curries. Dairyland Farmers cheese is unaged and tangy; pair it with hot pepper jelly for an appetizer or add to Quesadillas. Carolina Moon is our version of a Camembert, and Calvander is based on an Asiago, great for shaving onto salads or polenta.
Sausages include Country Breakfast, Sage and Maple Breakfast, Mild and Hot Italian, Chorizo, and Smoked Andouille. Pick up a recipe for our Hot Italian sausage and kale soup. Use our mild sage breakfast sausage for your turkey dressing or with cabbage and mushrooms. We also have bacon, smoked ham hocks, and Spare Ribs. All our pork is from whey fed pigs raised on our farm. Our ground beef is high on flavor and great for a cheeseburger with our Hickory Grove cheese, meatloaf, or lasagna. See you on
Saturday!
