Recipe of the Week: Braised Chicken with Muscadine Grapes and Sherry
Courtesy of katiebutton.com: “The seasonal transition from summer to fall creates space for this warming chicken dish, making use of delicious, native muscadine grapes of the Southeast. For this recipe, we’re using chicken leg quarters – the thigh and the leg. This dark meat holds up well to braising, which allows enough time for the grapes to melt into a divine sauce. You might expect the sauce to finish sticky-sweet for this dish, but it’s velvety and savory. The marriage of garlic, onion, sherry wine and grapes is very balancing. Wilting a little bit of spinach into the pan sauce is a great excuse to sop up every drop! I recommend a bit of crusty bread alongside this dish.”

Take a peek at the fresh & flavorful produce, meat, meals, & so much more on offer tomorrow at the market – eat well, while supporting your local farmers & small businesses!
This week, DFM staff got to meet with 7th graders from Central Park School for Children to hear what they are learning in their class about food deserts – what they are, some of the problems surrounding the issue of food access in Durham, and some solutions. We also got to tell them all about the DFM (some of them shop at the market and know all about the goodness within). It was a delight to meet them down at the pavilion in the park, the place that so many customers, vendors, and staff have made home, and talk about how customers can use their SNAP/EBT cards at market, and about how the programs like WIC vouchers, Senior Voucher, and Double Bucks, can help farmers markets increase our community members’ access to fresh, delicious foods. We also talked about how we like to think of the interconnectedness of diversity like a three-pointed triangle: Community, farmer, & food, all connected to one another. We strive to support a diverse community of farmers and producers so their businesses and our local economy thrives, so that we can continue to offer an ever growing variety of foods and products, so that everyone in Durham feels at home at the market and is able to purchase the tasty, nutritious foods they love. And just like the triangle imagery, it’s all connected. We’re grateful for every Saturday we get to spend alongside you, and we’re grateful for the ways you make the DFM a diverse and beautiful place. Curious about these programs & goals, or how you can partner with the market? Feel free to email us or catch us at market to learn more about these programs.
And here are just a few photos of the goodness that awaits you tomorrow at the market!
Donate to Local Food Pantries in our Area
Every Saturday, Chris and friends volunteer at the Donation Table, located by the market information table under the pavilion, collecting fresh market foods and cash donations to help stock local food pantries in our community. Curious to learn more? Stop by Saturdays during market hours to chat with this amazing team of volunteers & find out more about the donation program. New this month, they will be able to accept diapers and menstrual products with their Diaper Bank! More on that next week!

Celebrate Labor Day & the last hurrah of summer with the DFM!
Wow, we’re gearing up to start the Saturday morning market with temperatures in the 60s and we’re pretty excited! Of course with this change we are reminded that fall is just around the corner, and while it can be hard to say goodbye to summer and all of the fun that it brings, we are grateful for new seasons of life and growth. From the plants that flourish with the fall rains, to those beautiful colors touching the trees, and the ability to walk outside with a light sweater on, there is so much to enjoy in these first few cool days that usher in this new chapter. Last week at Wednesday Market, we welcomed Duke University students on their orientation tour of the market. Some of our Sprouts Club kids have come to market sharing their stories of the new school year. For those of us past our school days, our fall season may look a little different but still holds a sense of changing. Whatever this month holds for you, wistfully saying goodbye to good summer vibes or whole-heartedly embracing this fall, we are grateful we get to watch the changing of the seasons together and wish you the best of new chapters this September and coming fall.
September is such a fun month for sourcing your veggies, fruits, and flowers at the farmers market. Our farmers carefully tend to their summer crops and help them thrive into the late summer season, which means you can still find freshly harvested watermelons, tomatoes, cucumbers, eggplant, and peppers of so many flavors and varieties on their tables. Meanwhile, they also spend these summer days hard at work planning and planting for their fall crops. Already we are seeing pumpkins, apples, pears, beets, carrots, young ginger, popcorn, and lots of nutritious leafy greens ready to enjoy. This clash of summer and fall produce makes shopping at the market a “must-do” – both for the rich diversity of flavors to take home, and for the joy of walking around market and admiring the beauty. Want a glimpse of what else is in season this month? Take a look below or chat with your favorite farmers at the market this week to find out!

Late August means more change is in the air. This week we’ve talked to customers and vendors who are sending their kids to college and helping them prepare for this new season of life, and to some of our Sprouts Club Kids who are also getting ready to go back to school. It still feels like we have so much of summer ahead of us, with these hot temperatures and all of the gorgeous harvests coming out of the fields. But slowly nature is preparing for the calming of fall. When we will see the first turning of the leaves? We can almost taste the sweet refreshing crunch of the fall season’s many varieties of leafy greens. But we’re not rushing it yet! It is a good reminder to get out to the market and enjoy all the bountiful varieties of summer fruits and veggies, and to soak in those summer feelings. We’re sure grateful to spend our summers with you. See you Saturday, Durham!

This Week’s Recipe: Bitter Melon Stir Fry by Liv Wan
Looking to expand your cooking repertoire and try something new? Here’s a recipe highlighting the unique Bitter Melon that is in season at the market!
From the chef: Bitter melon is a gourd originating from India that was introduced into China during the 14th century. It has since become a commonly used vegetable in Chinese households and is as popular now as it was a few hundred years ago. Bitter melon tastes bitter just as the name suggests. The texture can be either crunchy or soft, depending on how you prepare it. This recipe is a simple stir-fry that creates a flavor base with garlic, chili flake, soy sauce, red wine vinegar, and sesame oil sauce. A little sugar helps combat the bitterness. There are also plenty of variations on bitter melon stir-fries that involve adding proteins such as dried shrimp or pork. Serve as a side dish for pork, chicken, or seafood alongside rice or noodles.
