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 gearing up for our

Chapel Hill Creamery
We have Paneer this Saturday. Customers who know this Indian frying cheese like it for curries, cooked greens, or even salads. It's best known for Saag Paneer. Fry slices or cubes on medium heat with a little oil or coconut oil and serve warm. Other cheeses include fresh Dairyland
Farmers, 7 1/2 month old Calvander, Hickory Grove, a little Danziger, and Carolina Moon.
Calvander is based on an Asiago with a piquant flavor balanced with but the rich flavor of our Jersey cows' milk. Serve with a glass of red wine or add to pesto, pasta, or kale salad. Dairyland Farmers is good for snacking or melting in scrambled eggs or tacos. Enjoy Hickory Grove with apples or macaroni and cheese. Carolina Moon and Danziger which are both soft and flavorful can be served on a baguette or crackers. Great for a gathering of friends or serving with soup.
Our pork is from our whey fed pigs and our sausages are made with the hams for extra meatiness. We'll have Mild and Hot Italian, Polish with mustard and garlic, Bratwurst, Sage and Maple links, and Chorizo. Cook our sausages on the grill with peppers or add to bread pudding, tacos, or pizza. We also have Spare Ribs Molasses cured bacon, smoked ham hocks, and ground pork. Pick up our flavorful ground beef which is a customer favorite to have on hand. See you Saturday and enjoy the fall!

Terra Clotha
 Creating hand-dyed clothing has been our bread and butter at Terra Clotha, but recently, we began thinking about the kinds of things you might use along with your literal bread and butter. Such as napkins, that you can put in your lap at mealtime and prevent ugly stains to your seersucker slacks when the bread and butter moves of its own accord from your plate to your lap, where it invariably tends to land buttered side down (thanks, Edna Ferber!). Besides hand-dyed napkins, we also have tea towels, quilted hot pads, and quilted oven mitts, most featuring our firefly design. Oh, and we also have aprons, in sizes for children, youth, and adults.
Clothing from Terra Clotha. Colorful and bright ways to protect you from your food.
Like our
Facebook page and while you're there, find a 10% off coupon to use with your next Terra Clotha purchase.

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 latest release of
Fig Orange Mead, a semi-sweet mead delightfully nuanced with caramelized honey, and fresh fig notes. Made with local, roasted celeste and brown turkey figs, NC wildflower honey, and orange blossom honey.
We will also be sampling our
Strawbanero Mead, a lightly sweet mead with fresh strawberries and a spicy kick. Fermented with NC strawberries, wildflower honey and infused with habanero peppers to bring a little heat.
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
Apple Cyser Mead
, a dry-style cyser with crisp, tart apple highlights
; and our Mango Habanero Mead, made with clover honey, mangos and infused with spicy habanero peppers
.

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.
Currently, we offer the following varieties made with local vegetables in season: green cabbage, butternut squash, and napa cabbage. Come early to get best selection! Try them as a side dish, like pickles, or as seasoning for dips or sauces or even soups!

Maple Spring Gardens
 It's Turmeric season! This tasty root in the ginger family is a potent anti-inflammatory and can be easily incorporated into meals daily from smoothies to soups to comfort foods like mac n cheese! Yup thats right - for Thanksgiving one year I made my Granny's traditional mac n cheese, but instead of yellow Cracker Barrel cheese, I used a white cheddar with grated turmeric to color it orange. Other than the color being a little brighter than usual, no one was the wiser! Turmeric is often used as a natural food colorant. Come by and get yours on Saturday- we've got a list of dishes you can add it to and some other suggestions on how to make this food/medicine a daily part of your life.
Also on the table you'll find cilantro, parsley, burdock (another great medicinal food), and plenty of veggies including the first Brussels sprouts, lettuce, arugula, ginger (the last??), collards, sweet peppers, green peppers, potatoes, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, and Seminole pumpkins.

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!

Pamela Strand Photography
What says Fall better than colorful leaves and clear, cool days?! Durham leaves have not turned yet, but in other places they are gold and red and orange. Here's an image of Zion National Park with its golden aspen leaves on show.
I have a wide selection of photographic greeting cards featuring iconic spots around
Durham, the OBX, Flowers, Fantasy, Animals, Whimsy, and astronomical images. If you don't see a subject you are looking for, just ask - I may have it.
This week's image is of a passion flower, of course!
Many of my photos can be previewed on my Smugmug website.
I will also have enlargements in 11x14" and 16x20" sizes and can make posters upon request. Drop by for a look and a chat!
