Ninth Street Bakery
About Ninth Street Bakery: Determined to change the bread landscape, Ninth Street Bakery was founded by two brothers in 1981 fresh from a stint baking at the Tassajara Zen Center with monk Ed Espe Brown. They brought with them recipes for wholegrain goodness and a mind for doing good works in Durham. Known by many for its seeded sliced pan loaves, NSB now has crusty artisan bread products that burst with the flavors of natural levain, and flaky pastries that slow rise to perfection. Helmed by baker Ari Berenbaum since 2013, NSB sits at Five Points in Durham, an anchor business in an ever-changing city. We have a full service café, as well as a robust wholesale program that covers the Triad from Greensboro to Raleigh, Durham to Chapel Hill and Carrboro. We give back to the community via our Bakery- and donor-supported Durham Neighbors program, an in-house experiment in Universal Basic Income whereby we Cashapp 100+ low-income local families every month $50 which goes to much-needed groceries, utility bills, or diapers. We are psyched to be now an official member of the Durham Farmer’s Market, joining an illustrious crew of artisans and purveyors who are dedicated to local, independent, small business, and Southern gastronomical culture. You can follow us at Instagram.com/ninthstreetbakery or read Ari’s musings on bread and Durham at blog.ninthstbakery.com.


Wild Scallions Farm
This week look for more southern heirloom apples. Winesaps! And more pears! And lots of tasty field grown tomatoes.

Plenty of summer goodness from the fields too: more tomatoes, cherry tomato pints, peppers, eggplant, okra, garlic, scallions, bitter gourd, cucumber and the last of the korean melons.

Also look for an abundance of blooms: dahlias, zinnias, marigold, gomphrena and plenty of mixed bouquets.

All our produce, flowers and plants are certified naturally grown for healthful foods from healthy fields!


Looking forward to seeing everyone!
