FULL FLOWER HERBS

Hi DFM friends!

We’ll see you Saturday with locally grown and produced herbal remedies for what ails you and beyond. 

POISON IVY SEASON & SALE ITEMS

Poison ivy is leafing out. Despite their cuteness this time of year, they are a dangerous one. It’s time to have Jewelweed Spray ready to go. This remedy helps to neutralize the irritating urushiol oil of poison ivy. Spray it on before possible poison ivy exposure, and after exposure too. If you can wash with soap and water, wash well first, and then apply jewelweed. We are working through a too-big batch of jewelweed spray, so we are putting it on sale – 30% off makes it just $8.40 for a 2 oz bottle or $15.30 for a 4 oz bottle. 

We also went a bit overboard making Kudzu Root Tincture–they are so abundant, you can see why!--so we are putting this one on sale at 10%. Kudzu is a cardiovascular tonic and a remedy for alcohol cravings, headache, muscle tension and lots more. When it comes to invasive non-native plants, might as well control them by using them! 

ALLERGY RELIEF

A reminder that we have many great allergy tacklers for the season including our go-to allergy attack remedy Allergy Relief, the long-term immune defense tonic Fair Fight, and Clean Up Crew Oxymel, a zesty, alcohol-free, anti-inflammatory spring tonic. 

AS ALWAYS…

Many of our extracts are crafted fresh from our garden or in collaboration with local farms. Check out our website fullflowerherbs.com, where you can purchase bulk sizes of 4 oz and 8 oz to save money on products you use a lot, find detailed info on our products, and read our recent blog post More Spring, Less Allergies, Please. Join our newsletter for updates and ideas for building vitality. 

Order online for pick up at market or at our apothecary near the School of Science and Math.  To pick up at market, mention this in the Order Special Instructions section and select “Pick up in store” at checkout. 

We offer a BIPOC (Black, indigenous, and people of color) discount and need-based sliding scale. Just ask!

BOTANIST AND BARREL

We've got another new one for ya!

Carbonic Muscadine Pet Nat 2024

The most serious Muscadine Wine ever made.  Certified organic fruit from Ty Baker’s Moccasin Creek Vineyard—Triumph, Nesbitt, and Supreme—fermented wild, bottled raw, and left completely unedited.  No sugar. No sulfur. No pretense. Just juicy, electric, unapologetic Muscadine.  Carbonic maceration kept the aromatics loud, the tannins soft, and the vibes high. It’s bold, bright, and foxy in all the right ways. Southern to the core, but flipped on its head. Zero-zero and alive as hell.  Tastes like: juicy fruit bubble gum, cracked wide open.

SARAH’S HOUSE OF CLAY

NEW POTS COMING

FRESH BATCH OF BERRY BOWLS and MORE!

Snippets of market conversations:

‘Beautiful pottery!’ (Thanks.)

‘I think of you every morning when I drink my coffee from your mug.’ (Fills my heart to know so many people think of me fondly.)

‘I use my Berry Bowl every day. It lives on my counter.’ (Mine, too)

‘Are those buttons?  I’m knitting a sweater…’ (I love watching folks select their buttons for their special projects.)

‘Tell me about your adult lessons…’ (We cut everything open. We won’t save anything. You’ll find out if you love making pottery and getting muddy and you’ll learn the fundamentals of throwing. I’m about fixing the moves that create the mistakes, not learning skills to fix made mistakes.)

‘I’m setting up at a craft fair for the first time ever. What’s your top advice?’  (Enjoy connecting with the people.)

‘I’ve been admiring that vase every week.’ (She returned to purchase it.)

‘I’m taking a photo to send to my wife. I might be back. I like those 2.’ (Still waiting for him.)

Come enjoy visiting your local farmers and crafters!

Thank you for spreading joy in whatever way you do.

THE SPICY HERMIT

The Spicy Hermit makes delicious varieties of gluten-free, vegan, and preservative-free kimchi, using local produce from neighboring farms (some of them at the market!).  Kimchi is a traditional Korean fermented dish, usually made with cabbages, though we like to experiment and use other seasonal, local vegetables, such as collard greens or kohlrabi.

Try kimchi crab cakes! Alton Brown says kimchi improves the flavor and highly recommends adding kimchi to the batter. Here’s his recipe: https://bit.ly/3R7w1Gm

We’ll bring these kimchi varieties:

GREENS- Napa, green cabbage, collard greens, bok choy, mustard greens

ROOTS- radish, turnip, green garlic (limited stock), kohlrabi carrot, celery carrot, beet, celtuce (NEW!)

TERRA CLOTHA

These children’s dresses come in great colors and have the ability to wear like iron. They’re dressy enough to wear to a fancy restaurant, and comfortable enough to wear on the playground. We’ve had some parents who tell us their child would wear their dress every day if allowed – even after it was chewed on by a gerbil. (And by the way, we have experience fixing gerbil holes. Just ask us.) Finally, we’ve had some parents who buy a dress in a size slightly larger than they normally would get. What starts out as a long dress for a 4-year-old becomes a short dress by the time they’re ready to buy a new one three or four years later.

Hand-dyed children’s clothing from Terra Clotha. Helping your children look their best for years to come.

CELEBRITY DAIRY

Following time-honored French farmstead techniques, Celebrity Dairy transforms goat’s milk into fresh goat cheese, or chèvre. Simply put, Celebrity Dairy’s chèvre is an honest expression of owners Brit and Flemming, of their farm, and of their place in time.

Like many specialty farm products, their cheese is fragile, and suffers from the abuses of shipping. They honor their cheese’s distinctive qualities by selling locally, thereby allowing them to hand deliver directly to their customers at local farmers’ markets, area restaurants that proudly feature it on their menus, and select local grocery stores.

None of this occurs in a vacuum: Celebrity Dairy is an integral part of Chatham County’s vigorous and growing low impact, sustainable agriculture community that produces high quality seasonal farm products in and for the Piedmont region. Brit and Flemming encourage and advise other cheesemakers in North Carolina, and work with the NC Ag Extension Service on conserving small family farms. On a broader scale, they support the American Cheese Society and the Slow Foods movement.

Celebrity Dairy practices low impact, sustainable farming.

BLUEBIRD MEADOWS

Stuart and Alice White love the environment and choose to farm sustainably, with as minimal an impact on the environment as possible. They do not use synthetic fertilizers or chemicals. Instead, they use lots of compost (worm castings are considered ‘black gold’ among farming enthusiasts), leaf mulch, and cover crops to keep their soil healthy and their biodiversity up. They also hope to incorporate aspects of permaculture on their farm, creating a healthy, closed system with as little outsourcing for material and soil amendments as possible.

HARLAND’S CREEK FARM

The Alston-Degraffenried House, a national historic site, is on the farm and was built in 1810. Because of this long history, Harland’s Creek Farm focuses on native and heirloom varieties of plants. Many of the flower bouquets they make could have been in someone’s parlor in the 1800s.

When Judy Lessler first moved there in the 1970’s, kudzu covered the yard and fields and was growing onto the porch of the house. After clearing, she discovered an old fruit and flower garden to the east of the house. In the fall of 2001, she built a parterre on the site of this old garden, using a plan that was inspired by drawings of 18th century gardens. Flowers and decorative shrubs are grown in the parterre. 

Today, Judy, Erasmo and Rene have 5 acres under production and are divided into three plots that have been opened successively over time since 2001. They grow our own transplants. Soil amendments include compost, feather meal, rock phosphate, sulfate of potash, bone meal, lime, or manure. Mulching and cover crops are used to build the soil. Pest management includes 6-8 foot fences to keep deer out, row-covers and flash tape to deter birds and rabbits, and occasionally we use OMRI approved substances for control of pests. Post-harvest handling consists of cold storage in an on farm walk in cooler. Flowers are conditioned using either Vita Products, Inc. or their own on farm mixture using substances that are compliant with the National Organic Program Standards.

As well as selling at the Saturday and Wednesday markets, Harland’s Creek Farm offers a CSA pick-up at each of these locations. These CSAs are operated with other farmers who sell at the Durham Farmers’ Market. Harland’s Creek Farm is certified organic.
