"I Support My Farmers' Market"

The Durham Farmers' Market received an unexpected, oddly shaped package in the mail this week. Hundreds of "I Support My Farmers' Market" stickers and a certificate from the American Farmland Trust were enclosed inside.  Last summer, your votes for the Durham Farmers' Market in the America's Favorite Farmers' Market Contest put the Market at 11th in the nation (out of over 7000 markets!) and  number 1 in NC!  Thanks for all of your votes, the Market's got lots of stickers for you! Even though they aren't Durham Farmers' Market specific stickers, they are a great way to show that you support your local farmers and farmers' market vendors! Stickers will be on hand at the Market info/t-shirt table, at the center of the Pavilion, until supplies run out. 

Applications for New Vendors
The Durham Farmers' Market is now accepting applications for new vendors for its Wednesday Market (mid-April-Sept.) and Winter Market (Saturdays Dec.-March).  If you or someone you know has a farm or a business, now is the time to apply.  Applications will be accepted through January 31st.  All applicants must produce all of the items that they plan to sell and be located within 70 miles of Durham.  The Market will be accepting applications in all categories - Farmer, Crafter and Prepared Foods.  For more information and the application, check out the market's website.

Volunteer Workday
On Monday, January 16th, the Market is partnering with Durham Central Park to hold a volunteer workday. Volunteers will be making improvements at the park, in and around the Pavilion.  Join the crew and help the market make their home even better in the new year.  The workday will start at 9am and be finished by noon.
