Tomorrow's the big day! We're excited to kick-off the Main Season Market and return to our regular hours of 8:00 am-noon. We've been working hard all winter to plan events and look forward to sharing our weekends together! Don't forget that vendors return to their Main Season Market spots tomorrow. If you have trouble finding your favorite vendor, swing by the Info Table and we're happy to tell you where they're located.

You may have noticed the Compost Now bins at the market. These waste stations will be permanent fixtures starting this weekend! Waste recovery will be provided by Gather Green and Compost Now. If you enjoy a tasty treat at the market, be sure to compost any items you can in these containers. Let's continue making progress toward becoming a zero-waste market!

Board President Stuart White (Bluebird Meadows) addresses City Council after the Durham Farmers' Market proclamation was issued on April 1.
Did you know that it's Durham Farmers' Market Week? And that tomorrow marks the kickoff of our 20th Anniversary Season? Thanks to Mayor Steve Schewel and the entire Durham City Council for issuing this proclamation on Monday, April 1. Show your support for local farmers by completing your grocery shopping at the market tomorrow!

We're excited to welcome new vendors to our market community! You'll find the following folks tomorrow - be sure to give them a warm welcome and pick up some of their incredible products:
  • Botanist & Barrel - Farmhouse ciders and wines made with native yeasts, spontaneous fermentation or mixed cultures all made with locally sourced produce.
  • East Durham Bake Shop - Handmade baked goods, pastries and pies highlighting ingredients from hyper-local producers (including many Durham Farmers' Market vendors!). They make use of local eggs and dairy and their menu changes with the season to match what is available from local producers.
  • Haw River Mushrooms - Fresh hardwood mushrooms including oyster, lions mane, cinnamon cap, shiitake. They'll also sell mushroom tinctures, mushroom growing supplies, seasonal foraged mushrooms, and Oyster Mushroom Jerky.
  • Strong Arm Baking - Pastries, sourdough breads, cookies, sandwich loaves, pies, coffee cakes, etc.
Finally, we hope you'll join us at the CROP Walk this 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!

See you tomorrow!

Sincerely,
Mary Yost

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.

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: our Hibiscus Lemonthyme Mead, floral, earthy and herbal dry-style mead with NC wildflower honey, dried hibiscus petals and fresh lemonthyme.

We will also be sampling 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.

And we will also be sampling our Mango Habanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead made with earthy clover honey, tropical mangos and infused with spicy habanero peppers.

We will also have bottles available of our Strawbanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead with fresh strawberries and a spicy kick; and our Apple Cyser Mead , a dry-style cyser with crisp, tart apple highlights .

South Wind Produce
South Wind Produce will be at market this week. We will have fresh hulled Blue Bonnet rice, the last batch of the season. It is a fluffy, long-grain rice with a clean flavor. It is versatile enough for risotto or pilaf. With this nice Spring weather we are using it to make horchata.

We will also have some lovely Spring greens like little gem lettuce, misticanza, broccoli raab and more. New crops are maturing every day. Hooray for the sunshine! See you at the market!

Terra Clotha
We all know that Durham is a fabulous place, a livable artsy town with great food, and a vibrant culture. (The Durham Farmers' Market is at the epicenter of all that, of course.) So as a nod to all that wonderful Durham-ness, we have come up with a T-shirt that celebrates the Durham spirit. We've used batik to create a starry night, and silkscreened a Durham design underneath. Trendy enough to wear to a Food Truck Rodeo in Central Park, hip enough to wear to a night out at DPAC or to a Bulls game. We've also got Durham-themed kids clothes. Because you're never too young to be cool.

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 a new batch of sweet onion. Use fermented foods to help you digest as well as add depth of flavor to dishes, such as dips, sauces, or even soups. Come early to get the best selection!

Chapel Hill Creamery
Come to the farm tour this year to see the farm, cows, pigs, and Ezra's oxen. Ezra and his parents were customers of ours who got two of our small steers to train as oxen. This picture is from 2014 and they have grown quite a bit since then! We will be open 12-6 on April 27 and 28. We have brochures you can pick up at the market. The tour is a benefit for the non-profit CFSA.  Come learn a little about cheesemaking and our Animal Welfare Approved herd or Jersey cows, have a picnic, and buy our cheese or meat to take home.

Our cheeses this week are Carolina Moon, Dairyland Farmers, Hot Farmers, Hickory Grove, Calvander, and Danziger. Carolina Moon is our creamy version of a Brie that makes an instant party or cheese board. Serve by itself, with ripe pears, nut, hot pepper jelly, or chutney with thinly sliced bread. You can even melt it in a grilled cheese sandwich with sautéed mushrooms and fresh greens. Remove some of the outer rind while the cheese is cold for a smoother texture when melting. This cheese is naturally aged which allows for a softer texture and more flavor than more industrial "mold-ripened" or "bloomy rind" cheeses. It begins young and firm; as it ages it gets creamy at the outer edges and eventually through the entire wheel. The flavor and texture change over the weeks until it can be quite strong. Let us help you pick one out to suit your tastes. We always have samples of all our cheeses and can answer your questions.

Spare Ribs on sale! $2.00 off per pack. Whether you grill or roast, marinate or use a dry rub, pick some up this weekend. All our pork is from the whey fed pigs at our farm. We'll also have Mild and Hot Breakfast, Sage and Maple Breakfast links, Smoked Andouille, Mild and Hot Italian, Mexican Chorizo, and Bratwurst. Ground Pork and Ground Beef also available with ground beef on special for $5.00 per pound.

Enjoy the bounty of the market and we will see you this Saturday!

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!
