Cane Creek Farm mentioned in the New York Times!
Cane Creek Farm was in the New York Times today (4/21/10)! Find the article, titled "Durham, a Tobacco Town, Turns to Local Food" in the Food & Dining section. Here's what they had to say about the Breakfast Biscuits at Neil's Deli in Carrboro, made with our sausage. The food at Neal’s Deli is resolutely everyday and American — like breakfast biscuits stuffed with egg and sausage — but the eggs are steamed tender with a touch of pepper and parsley, and the wide, crisp biscuits are mixed from high-fat local buttermilk and organic flour from a nearby ...
Kubota in the Sky: Ross Marley (aka Old Ross) moves on
As some of you might have heard, our dear Ross Marley (aka Old Ross) passed away January 12th. Ross had looked after Braeburn Farm since 1975, working (and arguing) alongside Doc all the while. He knew the farm better than anyone, watching the farm expand, take on new missions, and eventually include many more animals than just horses and cows. Ross had a heart attack as he was walking in a field. He'd said that was the way he wanted to go- out on the farm, doing what he loved. He even picked the most beautiful place on the farm to ...

Photo Post: Cane Creek Farm at Saxapahaw Farmers Market – 7/10/10
What a great evening. It was wonderful to see all of you out there last Saturday in Saxapahaw. The Big Fat Gap band played a lively and entertaining set. We chatted with friends, snacked on our delicious little golden bite-sized tomatoes, enjoyed a little goat cheese and local wine we purchased from other market vendors. Oh, and we sold the delectable bounty of our gardens.

Farm Newsletter: July 2010
The dog days seem especially sweaty this year, but the good news is that the animals are handling it better than any of us. (In case you’re thinking that these newsletters are always about weather, know this- farmers yap/complain about only three things- weather, price of feed, and the government. We’re just doing our best to fit in!) As frequent visitors to markets have realized, our beef supply has been trickling along for the past few months. But we’re now into loads of fresh beef a So get the grills going, the beef is just wonderful right now. The pigs too are plentiful, so any barbecue cravings can be easily remedied.

This house has been untouched literally for decades. In years past, it was the home of Ross Marley a.k.a. “Old Ross”. Last [...]
