ABOUT OUR VENDORS

TERRA CLOTHA

This week, Terra Clotha will have a scratch and dent sale.  

There aren’t going to be very many scratches, and it’s really hard to dent soft fabric. So these will be metaphorical scratches and dents. We dye a lot of fabric, and we usually get the result that we’re going for.  But sometimes the color is just not right. Often it’s possible to overdye and get an even better color.  But occasionally, the color is a dud and nothing will save it. Or we affix the design crookedly.  Or the silkscreen dye goes into places that it shouldn’t.  Things happen.  

For adult T-shirts (usually $25), at this sale, we’re asking $10. For kids’ T-shirts (usually $20), at this sale, we’re asking $5. Or make us an offer we can’t refuse. We'll have some hats. totes, and scarves as well. Each one of a kind, all sales final, etc., etc. We’ll accept cash, check, or card, with a minimum charge of $25 for credit and debit cards.

SARAH’S HOUSE OF CLAY

POTTERY SECONDS SALE

Spring cleaning my studio and cupboards.

Some pots have obvious defects chipped, warped, glaze flaws, kissed by the kiln.

Other pots you’ll wonder why I call them seconds.

I’m not telling!

PAY WHAT YOU WILL 

($10/pound minimum)

Cash appreciated

$25 minimum on charge/debit cards

Thank you for spreading joy in whatever way you do.

BILL POPE PHOTOGRAPHY

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 β€œcolor” to her surroundings and easing her homesickness.

Bill also sells postcards and matted 8β€³x10β€³ enlargements of landscapes, flowers, and downtown scenes.

LIL’ FARM

Hello from Lil' Farm! The frogs are singing their hearts out, the tulip trees have bloomed and rain is coming down again. This week we will be at market with a mountain of greens - Kale, Chard, Arugula, Lettuce mix, Collards, Hakurai Turnips, Lettuce heads, Dandelion, Parsley and more. Thanks for coming out and tasting the Spring beginnings.

And....

You can still sign up for our Spring CSA!  Join us for a fresh, colorful, nutritious future bounty.  This year the CSA will run April 3rd through June 26th (13 weeks). Like last year, we are offering a Home Delivery option and 2 pick up sites in Durham (West Durham and South Durham).Go to www.lilfarm.com, -go into the shop- then choose either the home delivery or one of the pick up options, depending on what you’d like.

What is a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a farming model based on developing a direct relationship between farmers and their community. A weekly box of lovely seasonal veggies ( and strawberries!) is the glorious result. This is an opportunity to support a farmer by purchasing in advance the most seasonal and successful crops available while acknowledging that some crops will not always work out with the endless variables at play. The good news is, we grow so many different things you may never notice our secret failings. It's a way for you to directly invest closer into the success and failures of a local farm/ food system.

The CSA box contents will rotate each week as vegetables come in and out of season. You will receive the freshest and best veggies we can provide. We will be sending you a digital newsletter each week telling you what you can expect and ideas on how to use it. The newsletter will be chock full of photos and updates from the farm, as well as rants on whatever happens to be inspiring or bugging us. We grow anything and everything we can, from strawberries and summer squash to greens galore. Please join us or share with anyone who would like to be a part. 

If you need assistance to purchase a CSA, please email us and let us know at lilfarm@gmail.com. If anyone out there wants to donate a share or just a box here or there you can email us directly or purchase donated shares on our website. Thanks so much. See you on Saturday. 

Love, Lily and George
