Botanist & Barrel
Botanist & Barrel crafts real southern ciders, sours, and dry fruit wines. We are the Souths only natural cidery focused on spontaneous and wild cultures. We craft healthy adult lifestyle beverages for any occasion. We support our local farmers using local sustainably and organically sourced fruits, including blueberries, apples and more from our no spray estate farm. Only tree ripened apples are used in our ciders with a focus on traditional southern heritage cider apples.

All of our ciders and wines contain little to no residual sugar and are low calorie. As an experimental winery we have almost no rules with the exceptions being we never add additives like sulfites and we do not fine, filter or pasteurize any of our ciders or wines.
 
Our newest releases you’ll find at market this week are:
Chai of the Tiger

This new batch of our collaboration cider with Asheville Tea Company’s Chocolate Habanero Chai tea blend is perfectly spicy to warm your soul during this unpredictable winter.

Pink is a Feeling
Out just in time for Valentine’s Day. This special cider blend is aged on the skins of 4 different grapes, chambourcin, noble, carlos & magnolia to make a beautiful pink cider/wine hybrid. 

By the Brook Tempeh
By The Brook Tempeh will be at Saturday’s farmers’ market!

We specialize in non-soy, artisan blends of legumes, peas, lentils, and seeds to create a well-balanced and highly digestible plant protein with a fantastic texture and versatile flavor. 

By The Brook Tempeh is based in Saxapahaw, created by fermentation enthusiast Taylor Westbrook. Our North Star is to contribute to a sustainable future by reciprocating our local food systems, supporting the human microbiome, and elevating accessibility through relationships. Along the way, we’d also like to normalize plant-based proteins for all diets, including meat-eaters, by offering an appealing product in its own right, not merely as an alternative.

This week we'll be stocked up with all of our signature blends. As well as our special Taurus blend, Chickpeas & Sea Island Red Pea. Plan on our Carolina Gold, Moroccan and Miso burgers as this weeks burger specials and our very popular tempeh Chorizo. Come say hi!

Chapel Hill Creamery
 Farmhouse Cheese We have semi-aged New Moon, Paneer, a little Ricotta, a well-aged Thunder Mt. Swiss, YoYo our version of an unsweetened yogurt, creamy Carolina Moon, pungent Danziger, savory Hickory Grove, and Calvander (our Asiago style), Dairyland Farmers, Hot Farmers, and hopefully a little Dill Farmers. New Moon is a smaller, younger version of our Carolina Moon which is similar to a creamy Camembert. New Moon is not aged after it gets the white rind you can see in the picture. The texture is smooth and it has a light, citrus flavor, perfect for an appetizer or a cheese board. We think it is cute as a button.
   Pastured Beef -Sale ground beef and ground round. Order some ahead at the link below. We will offer these at a sale price if you buy 2 of each. (Ground beef 2 for $12 instead of $7 each and ground round at $14 for 2 instead of $8 each. We also have various steaks and chuck roasts. Our herd is Animal Welfare Approved, pasture raised, and known for its flavor.
  Whey Fed Pork We have Pork Chops, Smoked Ham Hocks, ground pork, and mild and hot sausages for dinner or breakfast. Check our list to see what we have each week.

Y’all are in for a treat this week. In addition to our usual flavors, we were able to source local broccoli raab and turn it into kimchi! It’s made with radish and carrots, and has fermented nicely to a low-spicy (Aka green cabbage kimchi level of spicy) and delicious kimchi. It would be excellent in kimchi fried rice, or just as a side dish by itself if you need greens. Try it this weekend and let me know what you think!

To get $2 off 2 or more jars — just use coupon code 2jars. You must have a minimum order of 2 jars. https://spicyhermit.square.site/

Current menu: Napa cabbage, green cabbage, green garlic, butternut squash, radish, collard greens, turnip, mustard greens, kohlrabi and carrot, broccoli raab (NEW!)

Terra Clotha
These children’s dresses come in great colors and have the ability to wear like iron. They’re dressy enough to wear to a fancy restaurant, and comfortable enough to wear on the playground. We’ve had some parents who tell us their child would wear their dress every day if allowed – even after it was chewed on by a gerbil. (And by the way, we have experience fixing gerbil holes. Just ask us.) Finally, we’ve had some parents who buy a dress in a size slightly larger than they normally would get. What starts out as a long dress for a 4-year-old becomes a short dress by the time they’re ready to buy a new one three or four years later.

Hand-dyed children’s clothing from Terra Clotha. Helping your children look their best for years to come.

We will also have a selection of bedding plants and herbs for those ready to plant! 

All our produce is sustainably grown for healthful foods from healthy fields!

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
