Fall Veggies at Wellness Wednesday

Happy Fall!! The Fall officially arrived last week and the market is filling up with butternut squash, sweet potatoes, and greens.

I would like to send a HUGE thank you out to all of our wonderful customers for helping us gather items to send to the NC Diaper Bank as they support families that were affected by Hurricane Florence. The outpouring of donations, love, and interest in helping was absolutely amazing!

We have a lot of wonderful activities planned for our Fall Saturday markets and we hope you will be able to join us! The Art of Cool Festival will be hosting Soul Yoga this weekend, September 29. Yoga starts at 9:30 am, don’t forget your mat and water bottle!

The Durham Farmers’ Market will also be hosting a Silent Auction on November 10 from 8 am – noon.

Pick Up Fresh Fall Veggies at Wellness Wednesday

Fall officially begins September 22. The change in the season can be seen at market as the produce changes. Tasty squash and greens are a sure sign that Fall has arrived. The veggies that grow during the Fall are full of amazing nutrients that help protect our bodies from the colds that circulate as the weather cools.

The past week has been a stressful time for our state and we are grateful for all of the hard work that our farmers have done to keep food on our tables and in our community despite having to deal with the same uncertainty.

You can directly help our neighbors affected by Hurricane Florence by bringing donations for the Diaper Bank to the market, starting today, going from September 19-29. Please drop your donations off at the Info Table and remember that these items must be new and in their original packaging.

• Size 4 and 5 diapers
• Feminine hygiene pads
• Baby wipes
• Baby formula
• Toilet paper

The Diaper Bank works with the governor’s office and state and local disaster management agencies to determine how they can be of most help and what items are needed in these communities. We are already collecting supplies to donate. Will you join us?

PS – If you cannot make it out to the market, you can purchase supplies for the Diaper Bank on their Amazon Wishlist. Thank you for your support

We look forward to seeing you at market today. It is a great chance to get outside and join the community after a long weekend of time indoors.
