This Week at the Durham Farmers' Market Wednesday Market

THIS WEEK AT MARKET
Today at Market, we will be doing something that we've never done before... The Teen Chefs from C'est Si Bon Cooking School will be cooking at the Market! These teens have spent the week honing their cooking skills with C'est Si Bon's owner and head chef, Dorette Snover. Today, there will be three groups of teens chef, they will shop the Market for ingredients and each make a simple dish using the freshest foods that they can find. Stop by for a taste!

We'll be keeping our fingers crossed that we don't get a downpour at Market today! But, even if we do, the Market will go on and will be filled with lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers and baked goods as well as an excellent selection of meats and cheeses! The rain doesn't stop these farmers and bakers!

Discover You Can This Week: PLUM JELLY WORKSHOP!
On Saturday, at 9am, Jaimie Graff from Loaf will lead a small hands on workshop teaching participants how to make PLUM JELLY. Jaimie will teach every step in the process: getting juice from the plum, turning the juice into jelly, and the water bath canning process. She'll also tell you about the difference between jelly and jam!

There are several spots available in the workshop. It costs $5 per person and each participant gets to take home a jar of jelly! If you are interested in participating, please email info@durhamfarmersmarket.com.
