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

Chapel Hill Creamery
Spring is coming soon (we think) and for us that means the spring calving begins any day! We are cleaning out the hutches and the mothering area to have them ready. We have more calves born in the spring than the fall so that we have plenty of milk for making our fresh and aged cheeses. The Calvander pictured is our most aged cheese and what we are selling is 10 months old. It is a firmer Asiago style with a little sharpness to it which complements our rich Jersey cows' milk. We wipe and flip them each week to develop the natural rind. Serve it for an appetizer with a glass of red wine, grate onto hearty salads, use for quiche and frittatas, or grate onto any pasta or polenta with your favorite vegetables.
Other cheeses are this week are fresh Dairyland Farmers, Hot Farmers, Hickory Grove, Danziger, and Carolina Moon. Our fresh unaged Dairyland Farmers is a staple at home for breakfast burritos and our Market Salad with grated carrots and red cabbage. Carolina Moon, our Camembert style and Danziger, our washed rind style are perfect for an appetizer or to serve with a bowl of soup. Hickory Grove is our best melting cheese with its buttery, savory flavors and semi firm texture.
We are serving cheeseburgers with Hickory Grove and our farm raised Jersey beef at our staff meeting this week. The beef is flavorful and the yellow color of the fat is from the carotene in the grass which is part of the cows' diet. Ground beef will be on special price this week at $5.00 per pound for you to use for chili, meat loaf, or spaghetti.
Pork is from our pigs who are fed the whey from cheese making which we think makes the meat tender and flavorful. We'll have spare ribs, ground pork, a few smoked ham hocks, and bacon. Our bacon is cured with Molasses instead of sugar with no added nitrates; cook it on a slightly lower flame to prevent any scorching of the molasses. Our sausages are made with the hams not just trimmings and many customers have their favorite one. We'll have Mild and Hot Italian, Mild and Hot Breakfast, Sage and Maple links, Bratwurst, Polish with mustard and garlic, and our Mexican spiced Chorizo. Plan your menu for the week or weekend and come to market. See you there!

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!
