It’s officially June! And the market is full of fruits and veggies, showing us the coming of summer!

The month of June might be one of our favorites at the market. It’s hard to choose, every month is brings delicious surprises and there are plenty of year-round products to be build a full locally-sourced diet around. But the beginning of June holds that special time when it’s not quite so hot and humid, and yet late spring and early summer fruits and veggies abound. This week, we are excited to welcome blueberries and blackberries to market, while last season strawberries are still grace the tables. We also spotted sweet and hot peppers, yellow summer squash, green zucchini of multiple varieties, cherry and plumb tomatoes, while greens like kale, chard, fennel, green onions, and more spring produce are still here.

We hope you’ll join us to find some old and new favorites this season, and to find out just how many weekly staples can be found at market. Tempeh falafel balls; a variety of kimchi; flours, grits and cereals; ciders and natural wines; teas and medicinal tinctures; yogurt; soft and hard aged cheeses; locally and humanely raised meats and eggs; ready-to-eat meals, and the list goes on.

 

We’re grateful to be a part of the Durham community, every week. Thank you for shopping with us!
