Bill Pope was one of the original vendors of the Durham Farmers’ Market in 1999. Bill’s goal is to highlight the beauty of this area, especially Durham. The large, amber gnarled roots of the Red Dawnwood tree at Duke Gardens, the diverse store fronts on Main Street, the old Wrigley mural on Parrish Street, and the deep purple cut irises at the Durham Farmers’ Market have been some of his many subjects. 

Many customers frame Bill’s greeting cards. The cards are also sent around the world. He cherishes an e-mail from a female army officer in Iraq who praised a landscape of Duke Gardens for adding “color” to her surroundings and easing her homesickness.

Bill also sells postcards and matted 8″x10″ enlargements of landscapes, flowers, and downtown scenes.

Bklyn Vegan Bakery (formerly Crumbs) produces handcrafted vegan pastries and desserts. All baked goods are made with organic, local, and seasonal ingredients.

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.

Mother’s Day weekend calls for bubbles! We’re releasing the first 2025 pét-nat of the season: DeFi Riesling — our first time working with Riesling grown by Shelton Vineyards here in North Carolina. Expect beautiful natural bubbles with notes of green apple, white flowers, citrus, and a hint of ginger, all lifted by bright acidity and a clean mineral edge. Only 23 cases made.

We’re not stopping there, we're also celebrating the return of Grapes Have Feelings, a joyful reminder that cider should be vibrant and expressive, and is meant to be shared.

Bring mom by for a taste — we love all the moms in our community and can’t wait to show them something special. 

Botanist and Barrel is two families tied by food, laughter, and a stubborn belief that wine should tell a story about where it’s from. So we started making our own — wines that taste like our South. Fresh, real, born of local fruit and shared moments. Botanist & Barrel isn’t just a winery. It’s a celebration of family, community, and the wild generosity of the South. Come raise a glass with us and taste what home feels like.

By The Brook Ferments, based in Saxapahaw, handcrafts seasonal fermented foods including sauerkrauts, hot sauces, condiments, and soy-free tempeh, which is 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 magic of fermentation.

Our offerings include marinated tempeh burgers, seasonal sauerkrauts like beetroot peppercorn and turnip chive, and our famous chili crisp. Each offering is uniquely its own, and we hope that each nuance opens you up to the possibilities of what fermented foods can do for you, gut and taste buds alike. We are always building relationships and exploring new flavor combinations. There are endless possibilities and we take pride in sharing these gifts with anyone willing to try.

Capritopia Farm a family run farm with 2.5 acres in vegetable production, Alpine Dairy Goats, and chickens for fresh eggs. They also have fruit trees, grapevines, and young pecan trees on the farm. Capritopia Farm specializes in growing ginger and turmeric.

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.

Spring is here... we think. Time for cheeseburgers with our popular ground beef. The flavor is delicious and our herd is Animal Welfare Approved. If it's chilly, make chili with our Farmers cheese cubed on top.

Cheese includes Unaged and tangy Diryland Farmers, aged Carolina Moon, our extra aged Romano(ish) made with cows' milk, Pimento Cheese, Thunder Mt. Swiss, Dill and Hot Farmers, aged Calvander, and savory Hiclory Grove. Make a cheese board with a fresh and an aged cheese to mix and match flavors and textures. Carolina Moon is our version of a mild Camembert and it's soft and ready to serve. Enjoy the bounty of the season for a picnic or a gathering of family and friends.

Cilantro was inspired by friendship and love for Mexican food. Long time friends Maria Pacheco and Martha Arango met in Durham, NC and started a journey through food flavors imported from Mexico and Colombia with a background of Rancheras and good tequila.

After constantly feeling homesick, Maria, a Guanajuato – Mexico transplant, created Cilantro’s unique menu by bringing her childhood flavors to North Carolina. Martha has always had a passion for Mexican food and culture and her graphic design background made her the perfect partner to join Maria in creating Cilantro Artisan Foods.

We are excited to return to our spot on Foster Street for spring 2026! Come check out our flower bouquets, spring produce, and deep selection of native perennials, annual starts, and houseplants. Something new is blooming every week this time of year!

See you soon,

Steven Lambeth of Family & Future makes wholesome treats you can feel good about bringing home to your family. My primary product lines are nut butters and chocolates, all of which are organic, dairy free, sweetened without cane sugar, and made completely from scratch. I started this business so I could still eat sweets while on a restricted diet and I have grown my business with a vision of both supporting the family my wife and I are trying to start and wanting to align my business with a more sustainable future. I only use fair-trade cacao to support more ethical food systems and, when possible, I use compostable or reusable packaging to help minimize the waste my business creates.

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.

The farm is now offering the ability to pre-order farm products. Please email the farm at hcffamers@gmail.com to find out availability and pricing for CSA boxes and options for delivery and pick-up.

This Saturday, we’re at the Farmers’ Market with all your fresh, local mushroom faves and we are sharing samples at every market!

We also produce three flavors of mushroom jerky as well as frozen ready to heat and eat, Lions Mane “Crabcakes.” We ship our popular mushroom jerky nationally! We are always adding new products of dried mushrooms, tinctures and more.

At Homebucha, we’re crafting a new wave of ancient drinks. Kombucha is a fizzy fermented tea that has been consumed for thousands of years for its probiotic benefits. We believe kombucha can be as delicious as it is healthy.

You can find us at the Market every Saturday, offering multiple flavors on tap and in 12 oz cans. We even have a zero waste, glass bottle return + refill system. Stop by for a sample!

Cheers, Homebucha Kombucha

Honeygirl Meadery is Durham’s first meadery, and they make meads to celebrate nature and the work of honeybees. Mead is an ancient alcoholic beverage, made by fermenting honey, water and yeast, often with added fruits, herbs and spices. Their meads are made with a modern cook’s perspective, with fresh local seasonal fruits, flowers, herbs and honey. Fermented for at least 90 days, and sometimes aged for almost a year, their menu of meads changes seasonally. Check our website for the latest releases.

Made in downtown Durham NC, Honeygirl meads are hand-crafted in small batches, using all natural ingredients. They use honey from reputable sources both near and far, including NC honey whenever supplies are abundant. They emphasize local whenever possible, including sourcing fruit from NC farms and corks from Zebulon, NC.

They offer a variety of meads, from dry to slightly sweet. They like to explore all the nuances of flavor that happen when honey is fermented into mead. By using wildflower honey in most of the meads, we get to experience all the places that the bees visited. Each mead is truly unique and reflects the terroir of the areas the bees foraged.

Huanong Ecorganic Farm is a family-owned research farm located in Hurdle Mills, NC, operated by Drs. Changhe Zhou and Tian Zhou. We grow and sell over 50 varieties of Asian vegetables and cucurbits throughout the year. Safe, nutritious, fresh, and delicious!

Produce: strawberries, spinach, lettuce, kale, toscano, chard, green garlic, spring onions
Jams: A variety of sweet and savory
Plants: a selection of tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, summer squash, cucumbers, butternut squash, okra, a variety of herbs, celery, snapdragons, marigolds, cardinal climbers, strawflower and more!

Bring a box to transport your plants home!

We will continue to accept your glass jam jars and rings, but we now have an ample supply of paper egg cartons. Many thanks!

Mu Ta K Paw Garden has been a family-run farm in Chapel Hill since 2009, providing fresh, high-quality produce. We grow a wide variety of greens, herbs, and flowers, and specialize in growing Asian vegetables suited to the local climate.

Dedicated to sustainable, chemical-free farming, Mu Ta K Paw Garden uses eco-friendly techniques such as intercropping, cover cropping, mulching, and drip irrigation. The farm maximizes limited space and extends the growing season by cultivating tropical crops in greenhouses, all while avoiding the use of heavy machinery.

Now in its 15th year of offering a CSA program, Mu Ta K Paw Garden is proud to operate independently after many years of support from Transplanting Traditions Community Farm, a nonprofit organization that empowers refugee farmers from Burma. The farm currently operates on approximately two acres, growing both flowers and vegetables.

Visit our website to learn more about us. You can also support our farm by signing up for our year-round CSA program at https://www.mutakapawgarden.com/csa.

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.

We look forward to seeing you Saturday with lots of beautiful garden starts for your growing pleasure!

Hope to see you there.

The nutrition mix is a blend of broccoli, cabbage, and kohlrabi microgreens, while the salad mix is a blend of sunflower shoots, buckwheat, and kale microgreens. The farmer's choice will be a revolving blend of what inspires us each week.

Located in Hurdle Mills, Red Hawk Farm is a year-round, vegetable farm serving the Triangle. Red Hawk Farm grows vegetables with a focus on salad greens, peppers, and tomatoes. Their growing practices are chemical free, sustainable, and flavor driven. They love eating and providing fresh, nutritious food year-round and do their best to extend their growing season throughout the winter.

Along with my beautiful pottery I’m clearing out my batiks, selling the batiks real cheap because I’m itching to make more.

Spread the joy around!

Wishing us all strong community and random kindnesses.

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.

This kimchi hangover soup seems like a great way to play with spring vegetables! Here’s a recipe by Eric Kim: https://bit.ly/4w8jiGS

This week we’ll bring these kimchi varieties:

GREENS- Napa, green cabbage, collard greens, bok choy, mustard greens, radish greens, broccoli rabe 

ROOTS- radish, turnip, beet, rutabaga carrot, celery carrot

SEASONAL- green garlic (NEW!!!)

What do you do when you have worked hard to remove harmful chemicals in the form of synthetic fragrances from your home, but you also like a lovely fragrance on your laundry? 

You use our specially distilled pure essential oils! These oils are hand poured in our wool house, which we love, because the whole building smells amazing on restock days.

Stop by and let us tell you more ways you can use them in your home, in addition to on your dryer balls. 

We will also have beautiful cuts of mutton and lamb: sausages, ribs, sausages, stew meat and bones this week, in addition to our regular wool and Lanolin products. 

What you may not know about us....

With all livestock farmers the most preferred cuts sell first and we are left with what we generally have in abundance, i.e bones.

Our commitment to sell the highest quality lamb led us to a promise that we would never hold anything in our freezers over 3 months.

If we don't sell it, we donate it!

That's our commitment to you and to the integrity of our products!

See you Saturday! 

Strawberry season is here, and we’re excited to celebrate at this weekend’s Strawberry Shindy.

While bison and berries don’t share a plate very often, they do make a great spring pairing. Strawberries are rich in vitamin C, which helps your body absorb the iron naturally found in grass‑fed bison. If you’re planning a seasonal meal, try bison burgers with a bright strawberry‑jalapeño-lime salsa, or pair grilled steaks with a fresh strawberry‑arugula salad on the side.

We’ll have a full selection of our pasture‑raised cuts at Saturday’s market. Stop by, say hello, and build a meal that brings together the best of spring.

We have successfully cultivated, harvested and processed cannabis flower for five years under the Federal regulatory oversight of the USDA Hemp Program.
