Fair Trade Coffee Roaster! As part of our month long Celebration of Local Food and Wine, Weaver Street Market is highlighting our local coffee companies. First up is Cup A Joe - Roasting Coffee Locally Since 1991, Cup A Joe was roasting coffee before all the fuss about coffee - you may be familiar with their cafes in Chapel Hill and Hillsborough. We are now excited to offer you the convenience of buying their coffee while you do your grocery shopping at Weaver Street Market! (Look for Cup A Joe coffee in the bulk bins mid-August.) From many a chat across the bar with customers, they know people can taste the difference in flavor, complexity, and freshness. And that's the art of roasting. All their trials and errors have given them an understanding of the coffees they roast, how they age, and how to adapt to changes from year to year. More |

| Cup A Joe continued | |
 With their experience and expertise, they are able to refine their roast profiles day to day. As the coffee changes from month to month and crop to crop, they change with it, tweaking their roasts so that all the work by the farmers and specialty coffee tasters isn't wasted at the moment of truth, the roasting process.
Before the days of "fair trade, shade grown, organic, bird friendly, rain forest" coffees, Cup A Joe was trying to identify the world's best growing regions, the most consistently processed coffees and the most unique flavors in the coffee universe. As a drinker of their coffee, you will have all of the best choices available, which will always include Sustainable, Fair Trade, and Organic. And because they've been doing this for such a long time, they also offer several coffees that are not available anywhere else in the country! Give them a taste. Your coffee buds will thank you! |

| After Hours Every Thursday! | |||
 On the Weaver Street Market lawn in Carrboro, 6-8 pmAfter Hours is back and hotter than ever! Come prepared for picnicking, dancing, wine or beer tasting, and lots of fun! Local charitable groups will once again be providing freshly grilled picnic fare to purchase. Or choose from an expanded array of Hot Bar meals made daily in our very own kitchen. Weaver Street Market loves to see people enjoying our lawn and connecting with their community. To keep this event a safe and fun place, we ask that you only bring friendly, well-behaved dogs on leashes and please clean up after them. We want the children who attend our event to have a safe and happy time too, so we ask that they not be allowed to climb the trees, including the Crepe Myrtles. Lastly, please enjoy the fountain from its perimeter. Thank you for your help in making this event safe and fun for everyone. August 3 - The Tim Stambaugh Band - Bluegrass, Celtic, folk & traditional August 10 - Dom Casual - Fifties influenced modern rock between surf and spy August 17 - JAAFAR - Middle Eastern Jazz After Hours & the ALE Regulations We know how much fun it is to sit on the lawn and drink some beers, but unfortunately North Carolina law forbids Weaver Street Market from selling six packs for consumption outside. You can buy beer by the glass outside at the tasting table, singles, or half-gallon Growlers from Carolina Brewery, but please—be kind to our cashiers and don't buy a six pack to take outside. The Trading Path Association is Cooking at After Hours this week. The Trading Path Association is a non-profit group dedicated to finding and protecting remnants of America's first frontier here in the southeast. By doing so, the Association will make it possible to tell the story of a time when Red, White, and Black people blended cultures and blood in the birthplace of the South. As there are few documents with which to tell this story, the Association seeks out and protects the archaeology of this hidden moment from destruction by urban sprawl and other such accidents. To raise public consciousness about the threatened artifacts, the Trading Path Association leads monthly hikes along the ancient trade routes of the southeast. The group was founded in 1999 and has worked since then to create public and political awareness and support for their goals. Can't get to After Hours? Listen to our great local musicians via live remote on WCOM 103.5 FM your Community Radio! |
