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 lucky to live in a region where we don't have to stray too far from the traditional Thanksgiving dishes in order to use local, seasonal produce. Let's talk about what our vendors are selling that could make an appearance on your holiday meal plates.
Considering North Carolina is the top producer of sweet potatoes in the United States, it makes sense to start with these delicious veggies. You can make both sweet potato casserole and mashed potatoes from your next market purchases. It's easy to get excited about these rich, buttery dishes but don't forget to eat your greens, which may be the hardest decision because there are so many kinds to choose from. Tomorrow you will come across bok choy, mustard greens, collard greens, kale, chard, spinach, and a variety of lettuces. Cook chard down with garlic or compete for the most vibrant salad on the block. Although it's not a usual suspect, cabbage tastes great with any dressing and provides extra crunch, too. If you really want to cook outside of the box, cabbage stuffed with rice or meat will surely impress your family. While most of us will opt for a turkey, there is no shortage of sausage and other pasture-raised meats at the market. Last but not least, there is plenty of squash, pumpkin and other members of the gourd family. A classic pumpkin soup will pair well with anything on the table, otherwise toss any squash into the oven for an easy side dish. See how seasonal you can be this year and let us know how it goes!
We look forward to seeing you tomorrow for our special market.
And don't forget we are closed on Saturday, November 24 and will re-open with our winter hours on Saturday, December 1 from 10 am-noon.
From all of us at the Durham Farmers' Market, we are incredibly grateful for YOU and we wish you and your family a happy and healthy Thanksgiving!

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 Honey Chai Mead, like a warm mug of chai tea, our Honey Chai Mead is a loaded infusion of exotic spices, mingled with honey. Smooth, semi-sweet, and especially comforting in chilly months.
We will also be sampling our BRAND NEW
Mango Habanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead made with earthy clover honey, tropical mangos and infused with spicy habanero peppers.
And we will also be sampling our
Spiced Apple Cyser Mead, like apple pie in a glass. Made from NC apple cider fermented with NC wildflower honey, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg.
We will also have bottles available of our Fig Orange Mead, a semi-sweet mead delightfully nuanced with caramelized honey, and fresh fig notes; and our Apple Cyser Mead, a dry-style cyser with crisp, tart apple highlights.

We'll have fresh eggs from our free-ranging happy chickens that are fed organic grains.

Chapel Hill Creamery
Come to the Tuesday market to pick up your Thanksgiving items. We have Mild and Hot Breakfast sausage for your turkey dressing as well as cheeses for appetizers or for cooking. Our Calvander and Danziger are national finalists for the 2019 Good Food Awards, Dairyland Farmers and Hickory Grove won awards at the American Cheese Society Competition, and the 5 cheeses sent to the NC State Fair competition all won ribbons, so be sure to taste any you've never tried.
New Moon is back and other cheeses include Calvander, Carolina Moon, Dairyland Farmers, Hickory Grove, and Danziger. New Moon is our small, young Camembert style that is mild with a light, fresh flavor. Serve New Moon or the softer, more aged Carolina Moon with nuts, fruit jam or chutney. P
air these with the stronger Calvander for an interesting cheese plate.
Calvander is 8 months old with a piquant flavor, similar to an Asiago. Use it for dishes such as kale salad, stuffed squash, or quiche.
Hickory Grove and Danziger are both washed rind cheeses but made from different recipes with different textures. Hickory Grove makes the worlds best grilled cheese sandwich but can be used for snacking with apples, in turnip or potato gratin, or omelets. Danziger is softer and stronger in flavor; it is spreadable at room temperature or can also be melted. Unaged, tart
Dairyland Farmers is delicious served with hot pepper jelly, added to salads, or for topping chili made with our ground beef.
We will have Pork Chops, Molasses cured Bacon, sausages including our new Hot Breakfast sausage, as well as smoked ham hocks, bacon bits, and our flavorful ground beef.
Our pork is from our whey fed pigs and our sausages are made with the hams for extra meatiness. We'll have Smoked Andouille, Mild and Hot Country Breakfast, Sage and Maple links,
Mild and Hot Italian,
Bratwurst, Polish with mustard and garlic, and our Mexican spiced Chorizo. Use our meat for quick meals such as pizza, tacos, or soups. We have recipes to share.
See you this Tuesday for your holiday and weekend cooking. Happy Thanksgiving!

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, and radish (NEW!). Come early to get best selection! Try them as a side dish, like pickles, or as seasoning for dips or sauces or even soups! For Thanksgiving ideas, try these recipes out.
