Honeygirl Meadery is an award-winning urban meadery in the heart of downtown Durham NC specializing in small batch seasonal meads. We ferment honey and local fruits, flowers and herbs to create delicious, nuanced, food-friendly mead. Every week we bring out a mix of our hand-crafted mead styles, so there is something for everyone!
We’re showcasing our mead diversity this week and what we can do with it! Strawbanero makes an incredible margarita! We have three different traditional meads right now: Orange Blossom Mead, made with 100% orange blossom varietal honey. Farmhouse Wildflower Mead featuring NC wildflower honey from a single apiary in St. Paul, NC. Lastly, Avocado Blossom Mead, made from 100% avocado blossom honey from Mexico. This varietal honey is described as molasses without the bitterness; the resulting mead is dark, rich, and complex with notes of chocolate, coffee and raisins.
All our traditional meads are aged in stainless at least 9 months to express their particular honey notes.
We’re bringing some juicy meads this week. Strawberry Mead, Blackberry Crumble Sparkling Mead, and Ginger Peach Sparkling. and are perennial favorites that go with everything.
We are happy to make recommendations for you in person at the market. You can also pre-order online from our entire line-up, and we will bring your pre-order to the Market for you.

Located in the heart of downtown Durham, NC, Loaf focuses on hearth baked sourdough breads and pastries.

Throughout the years Loaf has expanded it's offerings, and partnered with local growers, and makers to provide you with as many seasonal treats from right here in the NC Triangle. | | | |

A bee’s brain is about 2mm in diameter and contains perhaps 100 million neurons compared to the human brain which has perhaps 12 billion (I’ve read different numbers. These things are hard to count, but you get the idea.) Comparing the brains by size can be misleading. As a Spanish student of bee neurology observed “Grandfather clocks and pocket watches can both keep excellent time.
Like the human brain, the bee brain is bilaterally symmetrical with two large optical lobes, two large antennal lobes, and central neural structures that process the information and decide what to do with it. Each neuron can make as many as 10,000 connections with other neurons so the possible complexity is staggering. Basic neural patterns are laid down by the inherited DNA, instincts, but the neural connections can be strengthened, weakened, or totally new ones laid down. Learning and memory. Consult Lars Chittka, The Mind of a Bee if this topic interests.

Hello from Lil' Farm. At market this week we will have kale, collards, chard, scallions, napa cabbage, salanova lettuce, red mustard and more.
And...
It’s time to sign up for our 2023 CSA! Join us for a fresh, colorful, nutritious future bounty.
What is a CSA? CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture. It is a farming model based on developing a direct relationship between farmers and their community. A weekly box of lovely seasonal veggies ( and strawberries!) is the glorious result. This is an opportunity to support a farmer by purchasing in advance the most seasonal and successful crops available while acknowledging that some crops will not always work out with the endless variables at play. The good news is, we grow so many different things you may never notice our secret failings.
The CSA will run April 12th through July 26th (16 weeks). Like last year, we are offering a Home Delivery option and 2 pick up sites in Durham (West Durham and South Durham). Go to our website to see pricing and learn more- www.lilfarm.com. We would love to have you! Please share the info with anyone who would be interested.
Thank you and take care,
Lily and George

We will offer a walk around the farmhouse and Century old barns, describing the old commisonary and wellhouse, hen house, smoke house, Mule barn, Seed barn, and more. You will be able to drive down the road to the greenhouse and organic vegetable fields. Bring your cooler and stock up on organic ripe strawberries and asparagus along with meats.
'Brats on a bun" will be served for lunch if you like to eat lunch on the premises. We will be one stop on the "Women in Ag: Local Foods Tour" this day... so plan to visit other farms in Franklin County also on May 14th. Details coming... There is no charge to participate in the tour and visit the eight farms on the tour.
We look forward to seeing you on Saturday. THANK YOU for your continued support of our Century-old, woman owned and operated Family Farm!

The bearded duo in the picture is Alexander on the left and Matthew on the right. Both are getting a work out making lots of cheese, as we have the spring flush of milk. Matthew is making cheese four times most weeks (sometimes five) and he's doing a great job. We're lucky to have smart, dedicated people here.
PASTURED BEEF: Our customers love our Ground Beef and it's on special at 2 packs for $13.00. Beef kielbasa is also available and it has a little pork added for extra flavor. Simmer the kielbasa gently as it is firmer since it is smoked.
WHEY FED PORK: Pork Chops are available in a thick or thin cut, and we also have Butt Roasts, sausages, Bacon, ground pork, and Smoked Ham hocks. Grill some Bratwurst, add Chorizo to tacos, or have Breakfast sausage this weekend.
FARMHOUSE CHEESE: Hickory Grove, Carolina Moon, New Moons, Dairyland Farmers’ Cheese, Hot Farmers, Dill Farmers, and Calvander are available. Farmers' cheese is good with chutney and crackers, salads, or melted in scrambled eggs. Hickory Grove should be served at room temperature for the savory flavors or melt it in a grilled cheese sandwich. Plan your menu and come see us. Enjoy the market.
