Join us for 321 Coffee's market debut!

About Us: 321 Coffee is a coffee shop and roaster built on inclusion. Based in Raleigh, NC, 321 currently employs over 50 adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). They are the ones roasting the coffee, taking the orders, and making the lattes. We are demonstrating the value of an inclusive business model. 

The company was founded in 2017 by Lindsay Wrege and Michael Evans. The two met during their freshman year as Park Scholars at NC State University. They had the vision to build a company founded on inclusion. 

The Roastery: We roast our coffee on our very own Loring S15 Falcon. Loring is known in the coffee industry for the advanced technology it offers and the high-quality coffee it is capable of producing. The best part? Our Loring roaster uses 80% less energy than a typical coffee roasting machine because it continuously recirculates hot air.

Our Coffee: Transparency is key in coffee supply chains. At 321 Coffee, we partner with De La Finca Coffee Importers for all of our coffees. Started by a fifth-generation coffee farmer from Honduras, Nelson Amador, De La Finca specializes in direct-trade relationships with coffee farmers like his family.

Direct-trade coffee aims to eliminate the intermediaries between consumers and producers. By creating real relationships with coffee producers in countries like Honduras, Guatemala, and Colombia, Nelson and his team aim to empower coffee farmers and their communities.

Located in the heart of downtown Durham, NC, Loaf focuses on hearth baked sourdough breads and pastries. What started out of a backyard brick oven, as a hobby to share with friends and neighbors, very quickly grew to a stall at the Downtown Durham Farmers Market, and settled as a brick and mortar shop in 2011. 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.

We are a family owned and operated fruit and vegetable farm. Whether it is pre-picked items to shop for or pick your own berries, we offer a variety of produce for everyone's needs. Open seasonally during the summer months.



This Week: Whole Wheat Levain; Country Loaves; Hot Cross Buns

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.

Join us in welcoming Seeds to Wednesday Market!

Our mission: Founded in 1994, SEEDS is a two-acre urban garden and kitchen classroom in the heart of Durham. SEEDS develops the capacity of young people to respect life, the earth, and each other through growing, cooking, and sharing food.

Developing the capacity of young people includes responsibility, teamwork, leadership, environmental stewardship, equity, community, problem solving and experiential learning. Our whole-child educational programming incorporates growing, cooking and sharing food to help young people become resourceful and confident individuals with the capacity and commitment to be future leaders in their workplaces, their families, and their communities.

Our desired impact: SEEDS grows the life and leadership skills of young people in Durham. We use the lessons of growing and cooking food from the garden to prepare youth to be skilled, resourceful and confident individuals with the capacity and commitment to lead in their own lives and in their communities.

Working in the garden is the canvas for multiple lessons. Students begin with basics lessons in gardening and cooking in our SEEDlings After-School Enrichment and summer camp programming. They learn how the food system, the environment and people interact and affect one another. As they move through the program and take on greater responsibility, they learn skills that they can use in their future workplaces, families and communities.

We are very excited to announce that we will be attending the Wednesday market this season! Stop by the market from 3-6 and take home some of our delicious Latin-inspired offerings such as tamales, pupusas and meals made from scratch using local & seasonal ingredients. Our meals come ready to heat & serve, to make dinnertime a breeze!

Strong Arm Baking is located in the rolling hills outside of Oxford, North Carolina. Founders, Julia and Thomas Blaine, care deeply about the products they produce for their customers, who make up a wonderful, colorful and vibrant community. You can connect with them directly through their website and place pre-orders for pick-up at the market.

Sheri Gant's bees fly from a sunny spot on Karen Woods Road just outside Chapel Hill, collecting nectar in the spring from the many plants blooming on her family's property and on an adjacent tract of Duke Forest. Tulip Poplar honey, very slow to crystalize, has a red-amber color and a mild rich flavor with a caramel undertone. 100% beeswax candles are unscented, clean-burning, and longer-lasting. Lotion bars made with beeswax, plant butters, and oils provide concentrated moisturizing.

This week more spring produce: green garlic, sprouting cauliflower, lettuce, scallions and escarole.

For flowers enjoy a last few bunches of peonies, lots of bright blue bachelor buttons, larkspur and plenty of mixed bouquets.

We will also bring spring bedding plants. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and herbs. Enjoy getting your hands in the dirt!

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

Looking forward to seeing everyone!
