| Klecka Naturals Edie and Richard Klecka are two of the highest energy people I know. I had a wild lunch with them chatting about everything from the nature of crystals formed with intention to USDA Organic Standards. The conversation traveled quickly over many topics, but always with the focus on how Klecka Naturals came to be and the level of clarity, intention, and integrity that Richard and Edie bring to their work and their products. Klecka Naturals is an outgrowth of their search for good quality products for themselves and their desire to give the gift of experiencing happiness, joy, peace, and love to other people. More... |

| There are very few wholesome things as utterly thrilling and delightful as a peach. Every aspect of this luscious fruit elicits pleasure; its velvety skin, its subtle musk, the soft, juicy sunset-hued flesh, literally bursting with torrents of sweet, aromatic nectar. There is no better way to pass a long, hot Southern afternoon than in the company of the peach, reveling in its honey-like stickiness. Add a few scoops of Maple View Ice Cream to the picture and you will wish for an endless June. | ||||

After all, the blueberry is nature's choicest antioxidant. Just pop one in your mouth if you want to know the best virtues of this mighty berry. | ||||

Providence Farm |
|
For six generations, the Shore Family has been raising cows and making milk, beginning with their family farm in Switzerland. The family emigrated to the colonies in 1750 and slowly through the generations made their way to Stokes County just north of Winston-Salem. Tom and Clara Shore are committed to raising their cows in a healthy all-natural environment with plenty of grazing time on clean pastures. They do not use hormones or antibiotics. With all the wonderful milk they produce, they make a fresh farmstead cheese called paneer. The ingredients are simple: grade A milk, vinegar, lemon juice, and salt. Weaver Street Market Cheese Buyer, Mary Turner, has scored the paneer at a great price. Look for it in our cheese case and below you'll find a tasty recipe.

It's old-fashioned fun with free music by local bands and the chance to relax on a blanket and picnic with your family on fresh grilled food by local charities. Kids of all ages can dance the night away or catch-up with friends.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 or 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. June 9 - Contrazz - David DiGiuseppe, Rodney Marsh, Bernie Petteway and Diane Petteway - a jazz/tradional fusion June 16 - The Revelators - shoutin' the blues and rockin' the dance floor 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. Internationalist Books Cooking at After Hours this Week The Internationalist Bookstore has a long history of providing the community with a venue for alternative books, information, and a place to gather. Started in 1981 by Bob Sheldon, the Internationalist has undergone a few incarnations, one in 1991 when it became an all-volunteer run organization, and again in 1999 when it adopted a non-profit member organization status. Members can use the facilities to create zines, publish their poetry, or contact the media with information about local happenings. They show movies with current event themes on Monday nights and publish a monthly newsletter. The shop itself is small, but offers a concentration of alternative political titles, feminist and minority writings, and magazines that don't always make it to the commercial shelves. As with any member-supported organization, Internationalist Books can only continue to provide these services to the community if the community supports them. Membership is $20 a year and members receive a 10% discount on all merchandise. If you haven't already been by the Internationalist, they are located at 405 West Franklin Street. | ||

| Southern Italian Wine Dinner - Monday, June 13 from 7pm until 9pm |
As little as 20 years ago southern Italian wines received little recognition in the international market. The reds were often clumsy, over ripe and in the case of Campanian reds, far too acidic for most people's tastes. The whites on the other hand were very often oxidized and stinky. The majority of whites were used for making vermouth, Marsala, or drunk by the locals who would go down to the local Cantina Sociale (growers' coop) and fill a demijohn of 20 or 30 liters, top it off with olive oil to seal it from oxygen (the oil floats to the top) and keep it below the house for however long it might take to finish off. The reds were mostly used as "vini da taglio" or cutting wines. These wines, usually Primitivo and Negroamaro from Puglia, were shipped in tanker trucks to wineries in the north, usually to Tuscany, Piemonte, and France, where they were added to lighter wines, such as Sangiovese from Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, Barbera in Piemonte, and to some of the lighter French reds. They added color and ripe fruit that were sometimes lacking back in the days before vineyard science became what it is today. The bulk wines were often offloaded at night and paid in cash. This still occasionally occurs today, though stricter control over DOC production makes it far rarer. Flip ahead to the 1990's and you will see a renaissance of southern Italian viticulture. With investment in cold fermentation tanks for the whites and, more attention to the raw materials in the vineyard, a few visionary winemakers who believed in the region's potential, and some political allies in high places, Southern Italian wines have taken their place on the world table. Aglianico, from Campania and Basilicata, is now spoken of in the same terms as Barolo or Brunello. Puglian reds from Negroamaro and Primitivo are enjoyed throughout Europe and America as wonderful accompaniments to Italian cuisine, and the whites from both regions might best be described as bottled sunshine: floral bouquets followed by clean citrus and tropical flavors. They go wonderfully with seafood, which makes up a large part of the southern Italian diet. Tickets are $35 per person and are available at the Service Desk in Carrboro and at Panzanella. |
