NINTH STREET BAKERY

About Ninth Street Bakery: Determined to change the bread landscape, Ninth Street Bakery was founded by two brothers in 1981 fresh from a stint baking at the Tassajara Zen Center with monk Ed Espe Brown. They brought with them recipes for wholegrain goodness and a mind for doing good works in Durham. Known by many for its seeded sliced pan loaves, NSB now has crusty artisan bread products that burst with the flavors of natural levain, and flaky pastries that slow rise to perfection. Helmed by baker Ari Berenbaum 

since 2013, NSB sits at Five Points in Durham, an anchor business in an ever-changing city. We have a full service café, as well as a robust wholesale program that covers the Triad from Greensboro to Raleigh, Durham to Chapel Hill and Carrboro. We give back to the community via our Bakery- and donor-supported Durham Neighbors program, an in-house experiment in Universal Basic Income whereby we Cashapp 100+ low-income local families every month $50 which goes to much-needed groceries, utility bills, or diapers. We are psyched to be now an official member of the Durham Farmer’s Market, joining an illustrious crew of artisans and purveyors who are dedicated to local, independent, small business, and Southern gastronomical culture.

You can follow us at Instagram.com/ninthstreetbakery or read Ari’s musings on bread and Durham at blog.ninthstbakery.com.

BOTANIST & BARREL

Shining a spotlight on a classic!

LOVE OVER HATE

In a world where it's easy to spread ire and discontent at the click of a button we choose to keep this motto in mind on the daily, Love over Hate.  It's arguably easier to spread love than it is to spread hate and that's what we aim to do with our ciders.  

Nothing to hate here! With our 'Love over Hate' cider you've got a beautifully translucent, bone dry, unadulterated cider popping with tropical notes that has been aged in NC Turning Point Bourbon barrels for that gorgeous rounded finish. 

ISAAC’S BAGELS

Isaac's Bagels is back! After our week off we are returning with more hand rolled bagels and all your favorite spreads.

THE SPICY HERMIT

It's been wet and chilly lately. I've been craving warm soups and stews, and this seems to fit the bill: tomato, kimchi, and butterbean stew. This is from UK, so I assume butterbeans are limas, but any white bean should be a good sub.

https://www.goodhousekeeping.com/uk/food/recipes/a46273881/tomato-kimchi-butter-bean-stew/

Current kimchi menu: Napa cabbage, green cabbage, radish, mustard greens, turnip, collard greens, bok Choy, butternut squash, kohlrabi carrot

By The Brook Ferments is excited to get back to market with an amazing array of ferments and condiments.

Based on the Haw River in Saxapahaw, By The Brook crafts seasonal sauerkrauts, hot sauces, condiments, and tempeh (a highly digestible plant protein made from beans). Our goal is to funk up your table with flavor: specifically, the unique flavors that result from the astonishing process of fermentation.

This week we will be featuring our two flavors of hot sauce with peppers that have been fermenting since the summer. This will be the last couple of weeks to get our Sriracha, and our Caribbean-style "Outer Beauty" hot sauce. We will also have  chili crisp, a mix of sauerkraut, seasonal Giardiniera, and tempeh specials like burgers and smoked slabs.

SARAH’S HOUSE OF CLAY

Alicia wrote:

It was a perfect way to be reacquainted with Durham.  The sunlight brought out a crowd of happy shoppers, friends stopped by to reconnect, and strangers exchanged pleasantries.

“The pottery is amazing!” A woman exclaimed.

“I know, isn’t it beautiful” I gushed before realizing that this stranger believed me to be the artist.

A classic exchange.  Followed by me awkwardly explaining that it is my mom’s pottery and I am just a humble fan!

It’s big shoes to fill at the farmer’s market, and the pots never quite seem to fit back into their boxes at the end of the day.  As if they have grown in numbers, though I did sell some!

And I’ll be back next week and through to the end of the month.  Come say hello!

Sarah replied: 

Alicia and I wear the same size shoes.
