Fresh From Durham's Favorite Farmers' Market

Durham Farmers' Market wishes to thank the community for voting in the America's Favorite Farmers' Market Contest. The Durham Farmers' Market came at #11 in the Large Market Category!  Placing in the top 20 is a huge honor. There are over 7000 farmers' markets in the US - what an amazing demonstration of support and appreciation from the community. Click here to see the final standings in the contest.


Chef in the Market: Saturday September 3rd, 10am on the lawn
Zach Faulisi of Bull City Burger and Brewery  

Chef Zach Faulisi will be doing quick pickling demonstrations.  There will be pickles to taste as well as some beer to sample. Bull City Burger and Brewery is a locally owned and independent farm-to-fork restaurant located on Parrish Street.  BCBB works closely with local farmers to source  pasture raised, hormone free beef as well as vegetables including tomatoes, lettuce and cucumbers for their pickles.  Oh, yes and they brew their own beer as well.  BCBB is a great addition to the wonderful, local restaurants in Durham.
